Christopher Cross — Ride Like the Wind

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind [Outro] Gonna ride like the wind Ride Gonna ride like the wind Gonna ride
