We're Gonna Ride

[Hook: Johnny Cash] And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds With the devil close behind And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds With the devil close behind [Verse 1: Struggle] The river ran dry, but the storm's comin' The drought's almost over, but we're still mournin' The picture's gettin' blury, like this windy road Cause I can only see you now when my eyes is closed I know I'm supposed to keep your name alive, but it hurts to speak it Memories is bittersweet, that's how I prefer to keep it I'm bout to lose my top like the champaign that we used to pop Drivin' like that time we almost died tryna' lose the cops But we're gon' ride again in that Cutlass with them golden wings Arms hangin' out the window, doin' ninety while Waylon sings Sweet chariot swing low homey an scoop me up Before one of these hatin' motherfuckers shoot me up [Hook] [Verse 2: Struggle] No smooth rides, so I grind harder My whole life been cuttin' it close like a blind barber Fightin' for my freedom, cause I seen freedom lost I seen 'em never get paid but have to pay the cost I hear the concrete crack every time you say you miss me You waitin' on parole, two-thousand-an-fifty Even if we both gone I'll be waitin' at them gates for ya' With some new J's an one of momma's plates for ya' The blank envelopes, lost letters that I never sent you They told me it would be easier if I could just forget you Cause you ain't comin' home, I'll never see you again But that's a lie cause I will an (we gonna ride) [Hook] [Verse 3: Struggle] The tires' bald, but the paint's wore The seats is tore, but this motor roars I'm runnin' hot but I refuse to blow a head gasket I missed my turn back there, I musta' sped past it In the fast lane tryna' see the scenery I wanna slow down to smell the roses an the greenery But these streets have left a smell of betrayal and distrust There's nothin' to discuss, this is us Outlaws an we gon' ride for eternity Ain't no Pat Garret in my blood, it ain't no turnin' me But for currency I seen they transmission slip I started this with the intention that I would finish it [Hook] [Bridge: Waylon Jennings] I'm gonna find me a reckless woman Razorblades an dice in her eyes Just a touch of sadness in her fingers Thunder an lightning in her eyes [Hook]
