About Nobody Rides for Free

"Nobody Rides For Free" is a single by the American heavy metal band Ratt. It was originally taken from the Point Break soundtrack. The song was written several years before its release by songwriter, Steve Caton, who performed it live many times in various Los Angeles and Hollywood clubs with his band Climate of Crisis. Later, after the song was presented to Ratt for the Point Break soundtrack, members Stephen Pearcy, Warren DeMartini, and Juan Croucier made their own changes to it, primarily in lyrics. This was Ratt's first single recorded without guitarist Robbin Crosby who left the band the year before due to a drug addiction. The song was played during the ending credits of Point Break.

In my dreams see I'm on TV
Get back exactly who I want to be
If she could really see herself in my eyes
This wouldn't be such a big surprise

I'm sick and tired of it getting in my way
I'm sick and tired of everything I seem I know 

Nobody rides for free
Nobody rides for free

Don't stop to think cause I know where I stand
I'm on my way no your not gonna change my plan
If you can break away and see what I say
You'll understand what I'm trying to be

I'm sick and tired of talking to my little dates
I'm sick and tired of everyone in my way

Nobody rides for free
Nobody rides for free
Nobody rides
Nobody, nobody rides for free
Nobody, nobody rides for free
Nobody, nobody rides for free
Nobody 

You've gotta pay to play
So don't you stand in my way
Cause nobody, nobody rides for free

Now the worlds at stake
The card was drawn
You thought he could swim but I guess you were wrong
You sink to the depths of your misery 
Baby the past will set you free

Nobody rides for free
Nobody rides for free
Nobody rides
Nobody, nobody rides for free
Nobody, nobody rides for free
Nobody, nobody rides for free
Nobody 

You've gotta pay to play
So don't you stand in my way
Cause nobody, nobody rides for free

Nobody rides for free
Nobody rides for free,
