Ride Like the Wind

It is the night, my body's weak

I'm on the run, no time to sleep

I've got to ride, ride like the wind

To be free again

And I've got such a long way to go (such a long way to go)

To make it to the border of Mexico

So I'll ride like the wind

Ride like the wind

I was born the son of a lawless man

Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand

Lived nine lives, gunned down ten

Gonna ride like the wind

And I've got such a long way to go (such a long way to go)

To make it to the border of Mexico

So I'll ride like the wind

Ride like the wind

Gonna ride like the wind

Accused and tried and told to hang

I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang

Never was the kind to do as I was told

Gonna ride like the wind before I get old

It is the night, my body's weak

I'm on the run, no time to sleep

I've got to ride, ride like the wind

To be free again

And I've got such a long way to go (such a long way to go)

To make it to the border of Mexico

So I'll ride like the wind

Ride like the wind

And I've got a long way to go (such a long way to go)

To make it to the border of Mexico

So I'll ride like the wind

Ride like the wind

Gonna ride like the wind

Ride

Gonna ride like the wind

Ride
