INTRO
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
It is the night, my bo-dy's weak,
I'm on the run, no time to sleep,
I've got to ride, ride like the wind,
to be free a-gain
And I've got such a long way to go,
to make it to the bo-rder of Mex-i-co,
So I'll ride, ride like the wind,
Ride like the wind
I was born the son of a law-less man,
al-ways spoke my mind
with a gun in my hand
Lived nine li-ves gunned down ten,
gon-na ride like the wind
And I've got such a long way to go
to make it to the bor-der of Mex-i-co
So I'll ride, ride like the wind,
ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
INSTRUMENTAL
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
Ac-cused and tried, and told to hang
I was no-where in sight
when the church bells rang,
Ne-ver was the ki-nd
to do as I was told
Gon-na ride like the wind
be-fore I get old
It is the night, my bo-dy's weak,
I'm on the run, no time to sleep,
I've got to ride, ride like the wind,
to be free a-gain
And I've got such a long way to go
to make it to the bor-der of Mex-i-co
So I'll ride, ride like the wind,
ride like the wind
And I've got such a long way to go
to make it to the bor-der of Mex-i-co
So I'll ride, ride like the wind,
ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
