Mustang Ridge

I'm never going back to Mustang Ridge

If I ever make it out alive

If you don't see me by the rising sun

You know I had to take the dive

When the hounds are running down Oso Creek

Like Arabs on the track

I'll be halfway across the southern horn

Too late for turning back

And if I die tonight on the Hays Street Bridge

I ain't never going back to Mustang Ridge

I got my knee on the wheel and I'm feeling free

With my hobnail on the gas

I just crossed over the county line

Tryna make it up to Wild Rose Pass

Now the radio's saying all hell broke loose

This morning at the Lockhart Jail

Now I'm flying like an angel on Dead Man's Run

I got the devil riding on my tail

Yeah, I do

I'm never going back to Mustang Ridge

If I ever make it out alive

If you don't see me by the rising sun

You know I had to take the dive

When the hounds are running down Oso Creek

Like Arabs on the track

I'll be halfway across the southern horn

Too late for turning back

And if I die tonight on the Hays Street Bridge

I'm never going back to Mustang Ridge

Did you hear they found an old burned-out car

Up in the Davis hills?

Sheriff said on the evening news

Nobody found, but they're looking still

Now,  a woman's life ain't just a list

Of the worst things she has done

I'll leave you now with the heart of stone

Sometimes a past is hard to outrun

I'm never going back to Mustang Ridge

If I ever make it out alive

If you don't see me by the rising sun

You know I had to take the dive

When the hounds are running down Oso Creek

Like Arabs on the track

I'll be halfway across the southern horn

Too late for turning back

And if I die tonight on the Hays Street Bridge

I'm never going back to Mustang Ridge

And if I die tonight on the Hays Street Bridge, oh, Lord

I'm never going back to Mustang Ridge

I'm never going back to Mustang Ridge

I ain't never going back to Mustang Ridge, no
