Michael Martin Murphey Lyrics
"Tonight We Ride"

Come gather round my friends,
Tonight I wait again
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 tin horn town.

No longer staying to
Bare their load
We'll take whats ours
And we'll hit the road tonight

Tonight we ride
Tonight we ride

To over come their lies
Our loyalty must never die
Our hearts must hold it's true
To do what we have to do.

And nothing holds us
Here but ourself
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 loose,
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
To 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
