it's a hard ride from here to the Rio Grande
with the sheriff and a posse on your trail
they want to take back their money
lock us up and throw away the key
ride ride ride for the border
run run runnin' from the law
see that could of dust a' common'
just stay alive 'til we reach Mexico
told my Pa that I would be a rich man
but working' hard 'aint the only way
Lord, how I wish I listened to my Mamma
Lord, how my Momma used to pray
ride ride ride for the border
run run runnin' from the law
see that could of dust a' common'
just stay alive 'til we reach Mexico
if they catch us this side of the border
that Sheriff and his posse ain't gonna let us go
keep on ridden' man, keep on running'
we'll drink that toast when we're in Mexico
ride ride ride for the border
run run runnin' from the law
see that could of dust a' comin'
just stay alive 'til we reach Mexico
