Verse 1]
The devil rode on a big black stallion
Travelin' in a cloud of flame
The devil rode on a big black stallion
Travelin' in a cloud of flame
Devil rode on a big black stallion
Woah, drifter was his name
[Verse 2]
Drifter destroyed the hearts of women
All across the land
Drifter destroyed the hearts of women
Yes, all across the land
For he lives in the minds
I know, of every travelin' man
[Verse 3]
I meet a gal every now and then
Who makes me want to live like other men
I meet a gal every now and then
Make me want to live like other men
And I know deep down inside
It's time to saddle up the drifter and ride
(Here it comes)
[Guitar Solo]
Alright gentlemen, get just a wee bit closer daddy-o
Look out!
[Violin Solo]
Mmm hmm
Ride 'em, brother
[Verse 4]
Well, here's my warning to other men
Don't let your restless soul pretend
Here's my warning to other men
Don't let your restless soul pretend
A woman will never set you free
You better off tied to the drifter like me
[Verse 5]
The wind's my lover, the drifter's my steed
The devil's only friend that I'll ever need
The wind, the drifter, the devil and me
We'll ride together, all the way together
The wind, the drifter, devil and me
We'll ride together through eternity
Yeah, through eternity
