Ride like the Wind Lyrics
[00:35.19] It is the night
[00:36.70] My body's weak
[00:39.12] I'm on the run
[00:40.72] No time to sleep
[00:42.82] I've got to ride
[00:44.70] Ride like the wind
[00:46.69] To be free again
[00:50.86] And I've got such a long way to go
[00:54.06] (Such a long way to go)
[00:55.14] To make it to the border of Mexico
[00:58.41] So I ride like the wind
[01:02.07] Ride like the wind
[01:06.31] I was born the son of a lawless man
[01:10.12] Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand
[01:13.94] Lived nine lives
[01:15.94] Gunned down ten
[01:17.31] Gonna ride like the wind
[01:21.95] And I've got such a long way to go
[01:24.68] (Such a long way to go)
[01:26.03] To make it to the border of Mexico
[01:29.26] So I ride like the wind
[01:33.05] Ride like the wind
[01:36.49] Gonna ride like the wind
[01:39.07]
[02:08.22] Accused and tried and told to hang
[02:11.76] I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang
[02:15.57] Never was the kind to do as I was told
[02:18.65] Gonna ride like the wind before I get old
[02:23.06] It is the night
[02:25.11] My body's weak
[02:27.27] I'm on the run
[02:28.93] No time to sleep
[02:30.90] I've got to ride
[02:32.97] Ride like the wind
[02:34.85] To be free again
[02:39.02] And I've got such a long way to go
[02:42.00] (Such a long way to go)
[02:43.35] To make it to the border of Mexico
[02:46.51] So I ride like the wind
[02:50.27] Ride like the wind
[02:54.21] And I've got a long way to go
[02:57.36] (Such a long way to go)
[02:58.68] To make it to the border of Mexico
[03:01.99] So I ride like the wind
[03:05.57] Ride like the wind
[03:09.20] Gonna ride like the wind
