Lyrics
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 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, 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
Ride like the wind
And I 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
No where 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 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 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
Ride like the wind
