[1] As dawn broke, with that first hint of light

The cowboy climbed the grey mare for there was little 

time

Yes, there was little time

Desperate man quickly running' outta ground

There was no doubt he'll be dead if he's found



Chorus

Ride, ride like that West Texas wind

Ride, ride or you'll never see that sun rise again

Winchester and Colt would be of little help now

He was a desperate man running' outta ground



[2] Right then the sound thundered in his heart

Fifteen to twenty riders with a galloping' start

Oh, with a galloping' start

Not more than half a mile back and riding' hard

In big trouble but the border wasn't far



Chorus

Ride, ride like that West Texas wind

Ride, ride or you'll never see that sun rise again


Winchester and Colt would be of little help now

He was a desperate man running' outta ground



[3] It didn't look good as they were closing' in

Another mile to the border, so how could he win

Would this be the end

Just then they slowed up and he didn't wonder why

That silver he kept dropping' had just saved his life



New Chorus

Ride, ride like that West Texas wind

Ride, ride and you're gonna see that sun rise again

Winchester and Colt might be of some help now

Another cowboy in a Mexican town



Final Chorus

Ride, ride like that West Texas wind

Just in case throw a few more silver down



TAG

Ride, ride?.ride, ride

Like a West Texas Wind

Ride, ride??ride???ride??
