|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride.
|
| Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds,
|
| With the devil close behind. |
