I was wondering
Why all people laughing
About me all the time
They used to call me ‘Little Red Rider’
I’m going ridin’ on down the line
I remember me and my brother
He’s still wearing my hand me downs
Maybe for Chiristmas
Might get a new jacket
If my Daddy finds work in town
You can’t catch Little Red Rider
If you try I’ll strike you blind
(Yes, she's gonna strike you blind)
Y'all be sorry
You’d laughed at me
Little Red Rider
Goin’ down the line
(Down the line)
I always knew
I’d get up and go
You’d look for me and I’d be gone
Now I found my own Red Rider
He can ride, ride all night long
You can’t catch Little Red Rider
If you try I’ll strike you blind
Y'all be sorry
You’d laughed at me
Little Red Rider
Goin’ down the line
You can’t catch Little Red Rider
If you try I’ll strike you blind
(She's gonna strike you blind)
Y'all be sorry
You’d laughed at me
Little Red Rider
Goin’ down the line
(Down the line)
Little Red Rider
Goin’ down the line
Little Red Rider
Goin’ down the line

Little Red Rider (feat. Takezo Takeda, Steve Willis & Ruth Davies)
Nacomi Tanaka
Recorded during Nacomi Tanaka's stay in California, this song was inspired by childhood photographs of the artist. The music was composed by Takezo Takeda, who drew inspiration from those images, while the lyrics were written by Takezo Takeda, Steve Willis, and Ruth Davies.
With its pastoral atmosphere and gentle storytelling, the song evokes the vast landscapes of the American West. Blending warmth, nostalgia, and a country-inspired sound, it paints a vivid picture of wide-open skies and timeless rural scenery.
