We're Gonna Ride - Struggle Jennings, Waylon Jennings

And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride

Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds

With the devil close behind

And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride

Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds

With the devil close behind, we’re gonna ride

The river ran dry, but the storm’s comin'

The drought’s almost over, but we’re still mournin'

The picture’s gettin' blurry, like this windy road

Cause I can only see you now when my eyes is closed

I know I’m supposed to keep your name alive, but it hurts to speak it

Memories is bittersweet, that’s how I prefer to keep it

I’m bout to lose my top like the champaigne that we used to pop

Drivin' like that time we almost died tryna' lose the cops

But we’re gon' ride again in that Cutlass with them golden wings

Arms hangin' out the window, doin' ninety while Waylon sings

Sweet chariot swing low homey an scoop me up

Before one of these hatin' motherfuckers shoot me up

And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride

Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds

With the devil close behind

And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride

Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds

With the devil close behind, we’re gonna ride

No smooth rides, so I grind harder

My whole life been cuttin' it close like a blind barber

Fightin' for my freedom, cause I seen freedom lost

I seen 'em never get paid but have to pay the cost

I hear the concrete crack every time you say you miss me

You waitin' on parole, two-thousand-an-fifty

Even if we both gone I’ll be waitin' at them gates for ya'

With some new J’s an one of momma’s plates for ya'

The blank envelopes, lost letters that I never sent you

They told me it would be easier if I could just forget you

Cause you ain’t comin' home, I’ll never see you again

But that’s a lie cause I will an (We gonna ride)

And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride

Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds

With the devil close behind

And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride

Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds

With the devil close behind, we’re gonna ride

The tires' bald, but the paint’s wore

The seats is tore, but this motor roars

I’m runnin' hot but I refuse to blow a head gasket

I missed my turn back there, I musta' sped past it

In the fast lane tryna' see the scenery

I wanna slow down to smell the roses an the greenery

But these streets have left a smell of betrayal and distrust

There’s nothin' to discuss, this is us

Outlaws an we gon' ride for eternity

Ain’t no Pat Garret in my blood, it ain’t no turnin' me

But for currency I seen they transmission slip

I started this with the intention that I would finish it

And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride

Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds

With the devil close behind

And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride

Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds

With the devil close behind, we’re gonna ride

I’m gonna find me a reckless woman

Razor blades an dice in her eyes

Just a touch of sadness in her fingers

Thunder an lightning in her eyes

And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride

Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds

With the devil close behind

And we’re gonna ride, we’re gonna ride

Ride like a one-eyed Jack of Diamonds

With the devil close behind, we’re gonna ride
