The song No More Riders by The Hollies tells a story of the American West, where a golden eagle and a bareback rider work together to hunt their prey. As the story progresses, we hear about a wagon train on an open trail and how the eagle protects its young from danger. However, the joy and peacefulness is soon disrupted by war drums and the arrival of soldiers. The song depicts a battle where no survivors remained, and the only solace is the campfire burning as the braves return. In the end, the song laments the loss of the riders and the eagle's freedom as there are no more riders on the open plain.
