Ride The Wind

Poison · Double Dose: Ultimate Hits [2011]

Hearts of fire

Streets of stone

Modern warriors

Saddle iron horses of chrome



Taste the wild

Lick the wind

Like something they never saw before

Their jaws dropping to the floor

Steel made of soul and sin



Rebels born without a care

And the day he listens

Only to fly where eagles dare

And the night she whispers



Chorus:

Ride the wind

Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun

Ride the wind

Never coming back again

Ride the wind

Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun



Painted flesh

Loyalty

Humble pride

Just as far as the eye can see



Stories told

Two old friends

Of battle scars and lonely bars

And nights the rain wouldn't end



Here's to withered eyes and gypsy smiles

And the day he listens

Here's to lovely ladies and a million miles

And the night she whispers



Chorus



Ride the wind

on steel made of soul and sin,

Burning till the night is done.



Solo



Of all the truths and lies

And stories of riders in the sky

Only the bravest try

Where eagles and angels dare to fly



Chorus

Ride The Wind
