Ride Like the Wind Lyrics

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

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
Gonna ride like the wind

Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere 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

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

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
Ride like the wind
Gonna ride like the wind

Ride
Ride like the wind
Ride

This song kicks ass! I believe it was written by Christopher Cross himself, and I know that he dedicated it to Lowell George.

This song fits in well with what I readily keep available, which I refer to as my “Mexico Money”. You never know...
