This song, a cover of a song by Christopher Cross, tells the story of a condemned criminal on the run to Mexico. Told from a first-person point of view, it describes how an outlaw who committed multiple murders and, on the run from a death-by-hanging sentence, has to "ride like the wind" to reach "the border of Mexico". With lyrics helping to create a sense of urgency and their desire to escape from their current situation, it helps speak to the universal theme of seeking freedom, defying societal norms, and overcoming obstacles.
