Tonight We Ride |
Panco Villa crossed the border in the year of ought sixteen |
The people of Columbus still hear him riding through their dreams |
He killed seventeen civilians you could hear the women scream |
Blackjack Pershing on a dancing horse was waiting in the wings |
Tonight we ride, tonight we ride |
We’ll skin ole Pancho Villa, make chaps out of his hide |
Shoot his horse, Siete Leguas, and his twenty-seven bride |
Tonight we ride, tonight we ride |
We rode for three long years till Blackjack Pershing called it quits |
When Jackie wasn’t lookin' I stole his fine spade bit |
It was tied upon his stallion, so I rode away on it |
To the wild Chihuahuan 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 damn 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' gals 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 Reposado 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 headin' west |
Toward the mountains and the ocean where the eagle makes his nest |
If our bones bleach on the desert, we’ll consider we are blessed |
Tonight we ride, Tonight we ride |
Tonight we ride, tonight we ride |
