"Let Me Ride" lyrics

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

Drove them from their homes
Coatless into the winter street
In a mountain clearing they grew so hungry
They ate the bark from the trees
They saw my face, Lord
I wore no mask
It's not for forgiveness
Or mercy I ask

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