Album: Cowboys Indians Horses Dogs (2004) Hightone
C F C
Poncho Villa crossed the border, in the year of ought 16
C G
The people of Columbus still hear him riding through their dreams
Am F
He killed 17 civilians, you could hear the women scream
C G
Black Jack Pershing on a dancing horse, was waiting in the wings
Am Em
Tonight we ride, tonight we ride
F C G
We?ll skin ol? Poncho Villa, make chaps out of his hide
Am F
Shoot his horse Siete Leguas and his 27 brides
C F C
Tonight we ride, tonight we ride
C F C
We rode for three long years ?til Black Jack Pershing called it quits
C G
When Jackie wasn?t lookin, I stole his fine spaid bit
Am F
It was tied upon his stallion, so I rode away on it
C G
To the wild Chihuahuan desert, so dry you couldn?t spit
Am Em
Tonight we ride, you bastards dare
F C G
We?ll kill the wild Apache for the bounty on his hair
Am F
Then we?ll ride into Durango, climb up the whorehouse stairs
C F C
Tonight we ride, tonight we ride
C F C
When I?m too damn old to sit a horse, I?ll steal the warden?s car
C G
Break my ass out of this prison, leave my teeth there in a jar
Am F
You don?t need no teeth for kissin gals or smokin cheap cigars
C G
I?ll sleep with one eye open, beneath God?s celestial stars
Am Em
Tonight we rock, tonight we roll
F C G
We?ll rob the Juarez liqour store for the reposado gold
Am F
And if we drink ourselves to death, ain?t that the cowboy way to go?
C F C
Tonight we ride, tonight we ride
Am Em
Tonight we fly, we?re headin west
F C G
Towards the mountains and the ocean where the eagle makes his nest
Am F
If our bones bleach on the desert, we?ll consider we are blessed
C F C
Tonight we ride, tonight we ride
C F C
Tonight we ride, tonight we ride
