I'm gonna steal me a silver stallion, With not a mark upon his silky hide. Teach him he can trust me like a brother, One day we'll saddle up and ride.
[Cash & backup singers:] And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride. Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds, With the devil close behind. We're gonna ride.
[Jennings:] I'm gonna find me a reckless woman, Razor blades and dice in her eyes. Just a touch of sadness in her fingers, Thunder and lightnin' in her thighs.
[Cash & backup singers:] And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride. Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds, With the devil close behind. We're gonna ride.
[Nelson:] I'm gonna chase the sky forever, With the woman and the stallion and the wind. And the sun is gonna burn into a cinder, Before we ever pass this way again.
[Cash & backup singers:] And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride. Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds, With the devil close behind.
