Let Me Ride

I've been a stranger
I've been a thief
I've been a gambler
I've been a cheat

Give me my ticket, Lord, and let me ride
Give me my ticket, Lord, and let me ride

I've been a soldier
I remember you
An assassin
My shot was true

Give me my ticket, Lord, and let me ride (ride)
Give me my ticket, Lord, and let me ride (ride)

Drove them from their homes
Coatless into the winter street
In a mountain clearin' they grew so hungry
They ate the bark from the trees

They saw my face, Lord (ooh-ooh)
I wore no mask (ooh-ooh)
It's not for forgiveness (ooh-ooh)
Or mercy I ask (ooh-ooh)

Give me my ticket, Lord, and let me ride (ride)
Give me my ticket, Lord, and let me ride (ride)
Give me my ticket, Lord, and let me ride
Give me my ticket, Lord, and let me ride (ride)
Give me my ticket, Lord, and let me (ooh, let me ride)
