[Kristofferson:]

I'm gonna steal me a silver stallion,

With not a mark upon his silky hide.

Teach him he can trust me like a brother,

One day we'll saddle up and ride.

[Cash & backup singers:]

And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride.

Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds,

With the devil close behind.

We're gonna ride.

[Jennings:]

I'm gonna find me a reckless woman,

Razor blades and dice in her eyes.

Just a touch of sadness in her fingers,

Thunder and lightnin' in her thighs.

[Cash & backup singers:]

And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride.

Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds,

With the devil close behind.

We're gonna ride.

[Nelson:]

I'm gonna chase the sky forever,

With the woman and the stallion and the wind.

And the sun is gonna burn into a cinder,

Before we ever pass this way again.

[Cash & backup singers:]

And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride.

Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds,

With the devil close behind.

We're gonna ride.
