Lyrics for Song: Tonight We Ride
Lyrics for Album: Indians Cowboys Horses Dogs [2004]



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 brides



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



[solo]



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



[solo]



...Tonight we ride, tonight we ride.
