Famously written on a psychedelic road trip across Texas, “Ride Like The Wind” was the lead single from Christopher Cross’ 1979 self-titled debut album and raced to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it held for four consecutive weeks. The song’s success helped Cross make history at the GRAMMYs, becoming the first artist to sweep the “Big Four” categories in a single night.

LYRICS:

1. It is the night, my body's weak
2. I'm on the run, no time to sleep
3. I've got to ride, ride like the wind
4. To be free again
5. And I've got such a long way to go
6. To make it to the border of Mexico
7. So, I'll ride like the wind, ride like the wind
8. I was born the son of a lawless man
9. Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand
10. Lived nine lives, gunned down ten
11. Gonna ride like the wind
12. And I've got such a long way to go
13. To make it to the border of Mexico
14. So, I'll ride like the wind, ride like the wind
15. Gonna ride like the wind
16. Accused and tried and told to hang
17. I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang
18. Never was the kind to do as I was told
19. Gonna ride like the wind before I get old
20. It is the night, my body's weak
21. I'm on the run, no time to sleep
22. I've got to run, ride like the wind
23. To be free again
24. And I've got such a long way to go
25. To make it to the border of Mexico
26. So, I'll ride like the wind, ride like the wind
