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
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 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
No, I got to be free
No, I got to be free
No, I got to be free
Accused and tried
And told to hang
I was 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
And I 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
No, I got to be free
No, I got to be free
No, I got to be free
And I 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
No, I got to be free
No, I got to be free
No, I got to be free
