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

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

To make it to the border of Mexico

So I'll ride like the wind

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

And I've got 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

So I'll ride like the wind

Ride like the wind

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

To make it to the border of Mexico

So I'll ride like the wind

Ride like the wind

And I've got 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
