LYRICS

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 (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 (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 (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 (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
Ride!
Gonna ride like the wind
Ride!

  1. Oh what a privilege to own
    A music phone.
    Let’s me ride the wind
    To the border of ecstasy’s sin.
    Set’s me free
    to be Pleasure’s closest kin.

    Oh what a pleasure it is
    To own a music phone.

  2. I share my own space
    with twinkling glory
    in plethora of grace
    resplendent on my own pace
    riding out this troublesome time
    in placidity of mind..

    To hold entwined
    ambiguities of life
    on gentle clouds
    aligning my choices
    to flicker in candle wishes
    of feather bed stories.

  3. We fly through the night
    riding words we know
    winds around take us
    no one knows we’re here.

    Never been one to follow
    night’s beckoning allure
    restless like the ocean
    searching for your shore.

    Amused you stay with me
    eyeing me in Moon’s light 
    drifting together 
    we follow our hearts.

  4. Rev of engine on two wheels
    Ride like the wind
    Wind in your hair
    Riding free
    Riding wild
    Hear the engine roar
    A speed demon in the limits
    Glimpse and fash of scenary
    But I am free
    Just look at me

    POEM BY KARL WOMACK

  5. That guitar solo is really hot
    makes me realize the skills I’ve got
    now to go do the things he reminded me to do.
    I gotta go finish a new song or two.
