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 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.
