Lyrics

I'm gonna steal me a silver stallion,
with not a mark upon his silky hide
Teach me he can trust me like a brother,
one day we'll saddle up and ride
And we're gonna ride,
we're gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind
We're gonna ride
I'm gonna find me a reckless woman,
razor blades and dice in her eyes
Just a touch of sadness in her fingers,
thunder and lightning in her thighs
And we're gonna ride,
we're gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind
We're gonna ride
I'm gonna chase the sky forever,
with the woman and the stallion and the wind
And the sun is gonna burn into a cinder,
before we ever pass this way again
And we're gonna ride,
we're gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind
We're gonna ride
