[Intro]
[Chorus]
Ride the wild wind
(Push the envelope don't sit on the fence)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ride the wild wind
(Live life on the razor's edge)
Hey, hey, hey
Gonna ride the whirlwind
It ain't dangerous enough for me
[Verse 1]
Get your head down baby (Yeah)
We're gonna ride tonight
Your angel eyes
Are shining bright
I wanna take your hand
Lead you from this place
Gonna leave it all behind
Check out of this rat race
[Chorus]
Ride the wild wind (Hey hey hey)
Ride the wild wind (Hey hey hey)
Gonna ride the wild wind
It ain't dangerous enough for me
[Verse 2]
Tie your hair back baby
We're gonna ride tonight (Yeah)
We got freaks to the left
We got jerks to the right
Sometimes I get so low
I just have to ride
Let me take your hand
Let me be your guide
[Chorus]
Ooh, ride the wild wind
(Don't sit on the fence)
Hey, hey, hey
Ride the wild wind
(Live life on the razor's edge)
(Hey, hey, hey)
Gonna ride the whirlwind
It ain't dangerous enough for me
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Yeah, ride the wild wind
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Mm, ride the wild wind
Hey, hey, hey, hey (Ha ha ha)
Gonna ride and ride the whirlwind
It ain't dangerous enough for me
[Outro]
Ride the wild wind
Ride the wild wind
(Hey, hey, hey)
The wild wind
The wild wind
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
