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 churchbells rang Never was the kind to do as I was told Gonna ride like the wind before I get old (Repeat **) (Repeat *) (Repeat **)
