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   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   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 churchbells 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   To make it to the border of Mexico   So I'll ride like the wind   Ride like the wind
