Christopher Cross - Ride Like the Wind

Thank you so much, you've been a wonderful audience tonight
We've just had a wonderful, wonderful time playing for you
So thank you for coming out and sharing your evening with us
We're gonna close things out here with a tune from my first album, 1980
A song that started it all off for me
Way back when
With some help from my good buddy, Michael McDonald
Some background vocals, goes like this
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, 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
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
Ride like the wind
Accused and tried, told I'll hang
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 on the wind, ride like the wind
Gonna ride like the wind
Thank you, Paris
