Tonight We Ride

(album: Tonight We Ride - 1986)

Come gather 'round my friends
Tonight our waiting ends
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 tinhorn town

No longer slaves who will
Bare their load
We'll take what's ours
And we'll hit the road tonight

Tonight we ride
Tonight we ride

To overcome their lies
Our loyalty must never die
Our hearts must hold this true
To do what we have to do

And nothing holds us
Here but ourselves
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 ride
Tonight we ride

And now we all must choose
To run this race one more time or lose
To storm this wall of tears
That's held our hearts for years

To feel the wind and chill of night
To brave the thrill of the dawning light
Chase the sun down in to the sea
Sleep no more until we are free tonight

Tonight we ride
Tonight we ride
Tonight we ride
Tonight we ride
