Michael Martin Murphey -- Tonight We Ride lyrics
Tonight We Ride
(Michael Martin Murphey)
Come gather 'round my friends
Tonight our waiting ends
The clouds race by the moon
And midnight's coming soon
And we can no longer be held down
By the wheels who deal in this tin-horn town
No longer slaves who will bear their load
We'll take what's our and we'll hit the road
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 heavens and make our hells
We can live in a better place
We'll run tonight and we'll leave no trace
Tonight we ride
And now we all must choose
To run this race or lose
To storm this wall of tears
That's held our hearts for years
To feel the wind and the chill of night
To brave the thrill of the dawning light
Chase the sun down into the sea
Sleep no more until we are free
Tonight we ride.
