I ride alone through the roads that haunt me I ride alone back home to the country breeze Back where I feel free On the run from the big city I ride alone where the sun don't shine And the lights aren't bright I ride alone, guided only by the stars at night Where the southern wind feels right And my baby holds me tight I ride alone like a bandit running from the law man I ride alone with a Colt 45 in my hand Make my way through the land I'll try to make you understand why I ride alone ♪ I ride alone through the burnt down body of a ghost town I ride alone like an unfit king stripped of my crown Never knowing up from down Forever spinning 'round and 'round I ride alone in the darkness looking for a sunrise I ride alone with a glimpse of hope in my eyes Waiting for a big surprise To get a little peace of mind I ride alone ♪ I ride alone like a bandit running from the law man I ride alone with a Colt 45 in my hand Make my way through the land I'll try to make you understand why I ride alone Why I ride alone
