Ride Like The Wind
Michael Mind feat. Manfred Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again
(Back) To be free again
It is the night!
It is the night!
(Back) To be free again
It is the night!
It is the night!
It is the night!
It is the night!
It is the night!
It is the night!

And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind
(Back) wind

It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again
(Back) To be free again
It is the night!
It is the night!
(Back) To be free again
It is the night!
It is the night!
It is the night!
It is the night!

Ride like the wind
To be free again
(Back) To be free again

No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
