> We rode for three long years, 'till Black Jack Pershing called it quitsn Jack wasn't looking, I stole his fine spade bit

> It was tied upon his stallion, so I rode away on it

> To the wild Chihauhan desert, so dry you couldn't spit

> Tonight we ride, you bastards dare

> We'll kill the wild Apache, for the bounty on his hair

> Then we'll ride into Durango, climb up the whorehouse stairs

> Tonight we ride, Tonight we ride

> When I'm too damned old to sit a horse, I'll steal the Warden's car

> Break my ass out of this prison, leave my teeth there in a jar

> You don't need no teeth for kissin' galls, or smokin' cheap cigars

> I'll sleep with one eye open, 'neath God's celestial stars

>

> Tonight we rock, Tonight we roll

> We'll rob the Juarez liquor store, for the Rey Posada gold

> And if we drink ourselves to death, ain't that the cowboy way to go?

> Tonight we ride, Tonight we ride

>

> Tonight we fly, we're heading west

> Toward the mountains and the ocean, where the eagle makes it's nest

> And if our bones bleach on the desert, we'll consider we are blessed

> Tonight we ride, Tonight we ride, TAG: Tonight we ride, Tonight we ride
