[Verse]
Pancho Villa crossed the Cborder in the Fyear of ought sixCteen
The people of Columbus still hear him Griding through their dreams
He killed Amseventeen civilians you could Fhear the women scream
Blackjack CPershing on a dancing horse was Gwaiting in the wings
[Chorus]
Tonight we Amride, tonight we Emride
We'll Fskin ole Pancho CVilla, make chaps out of his Ghide
Shoot his Amhorse, Siete Leguas, and his Ftwenty-seven brides
Tonight we Cride,F tonight we Cride
[Verse]
CWe rode for three long years till Blackjack FPershing called it Cquits
When Jackie wasn't lookin' I Gstole his fine spade bit
It was Amtied upon his stallion, so I Frode away on it
To the Cwild Chihuahuan desert, so Gdry you couldn't spit
[Chorus]
Tonight we Amride, you bastards Emdare
We'll Fkill the wild ACpache for the bounty on his Ghair
Then we'll Amride into Durango, climb Fup the whorehouse stairs
Tonight we Cride,F Tonight we Cride
[Interlude]

[Verse]
CWhen I'm too damn old to sit a horse, I'll Fsteal the warden's Ccar
Break my ass out of this prison, leave my Gteeth there in a jar
You don't Amneed no teeth for kissin' gals or Fsmokin' cheap cigars
I'll Csleep with one eye open, 'neath GGod's celestial stars
[Chorus]
Tonight we Amrock, Tonight we Emroll
We'll Frob the Juarez Cliquor store for the Reposado GGold
And if we Amdrink ourselves to death, ain't that the Fcowboy way to go?
Tonight we Cride,F tonight we Cride
[Chorus]
Tonight we Amfly, we're headin' Emwest
Toward the Fmountains and the Cocean where the eagle makes his Gnest
If our Ambones bleach on the desert, we'll conFsider we are blessed
Tonight we Cride,F Tonight we Cride
[Outro]
Am Em F C G

Tonight we Cride,F tonight we Cride. F C
