Ride Like the Wind – by Christopher Cross
Never was the kind to do as I was told.
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 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.
