It is the night, my body's weak
I'm on the run, no time for 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
