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



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



Accused and tried and told to hang

I was nowhere in sight when the

churchbells rang

Never was the kind to do as I

was told

Gonna ride like the wind before I

get old
