"Ride Across the River" is a 1985 song by the British rock band Dire Straits. It appeared on their best-selling album Brothers in Arms.
The song provided the most lucid part of the album's anti-war theme. Built on an off-beat rhythm, it uses immersive Latin American rain forest imagery, accompanied by pan flute and eerie background noises to allude to the elements of guerilla warfare.
