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 |
