Michael Martin Murphey Tonight We Ride
Come gather round my friends,
Tonight I wait again
The clouds race by the moon,
And midnight is coming soon.
And we can no longer be held
Down by the wheels that deal
In this tin horn town.
No longer staying to
Bare their load
We'll take whats ours
And we'll hit the road tonight
Tonight we riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaahhhhiiiiide
Tonight we riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide
To over come their lies
Our loyalty must never die
Our hearts must hold it's true
To do what we have to do.
And nothing holds us
Here but ourself
We make our heaven
And make our hell
We can live in a better place
We'll run tonight and we'll
Leave no trace tonight
Tonight we riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaahhhhiiiiide
Tonight we riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide
(instrumental)
And now we all must choose
To run this race one more time or loose,
To storm this wall of tears
Thats held our hearts for years
To feel the wind and chill of night
To brave the thrill of the dawning light
To chase the sun down in to the sea
Sleep no more until we are free tonight
Tonight we riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaahhhhiiiiiiiiide
Tonight we riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaahhhhiiiiiiiiide
Tonight we riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaahhhhiiiiiiiiide
Tonight we ride!!!
