Lyrics
Ride, ride
Keep on movin' fast
Sheriff's on your trail, oh Lord
Ride, ride
Long as you can last
Though you're gonna end up in jail
Ride, ride, ride
Guns are made of metal
Forged by the Devil's hand
Hadn't been for a .44
Could have stayed here with my sweet Ann
But it's ride, ride, ride
Ride, won't you ride
Won't you keep on movin' fast
Sheriff's on your trail, oh Lord
Ride, won't you ride, won't you
Long as you can last
Though you're gonna end up in jail
Ride, ride, ride
On my eighteenth birthday
I started travelling through this land
Now, I'm only twenty-one
And I feel like an old, old man
Well, it's ride, ride, ride
Well, it's ride, ride, ride
Ten more miles to the border
Ten more miles and then
Great God, I'll be in Mexico
Never see sweet Ann again
But it's ride, ride, ride
I said it's "Ride" (ride), "Ride" (ride)
Keep on movin' fast
Sheriff's on your trail, oh Lord
It's "Ride" (ride), "Ride" (ride)
Long as you can last
Though you're gonna end up in jail
Ride, ride, ride
Keep on movin'
Fast
