Night Ride Out of Phoenix
[Intro]
The desert air was cold
And the moon was shining bright
As I rode out of Phoenix
There was tension in the night
Someone was walking on my grave
I said I know
That something is happening tonight
[Verse 1]
A night ride just out of Phoenix
In the desert on a skewbald mare
Moon bright shining over Phoenix
A horse walking while the lizards stare
Alone in the night with the bloom of a desert rose
Alone in the night, I'm never going home
[Verse 2]
Alongside on a jet black stallion
Came riding from out of the air
He just smiled and pointed to heaven
And I knew what was waiting there
Scared in the night looking down from a desert sky
Flying in the night watching Phoenix die
[Chorus]
Fly
Night ride out of Phoenix
Fly
Night ride out of Phoenix
Fly by the Devil's side
Flying on the vengeance ride
Cold in the night watching Phoenix die
[Verse 3]
For some reason I'd been chosen
To be a witness to the Devil's hate
But I knew that those burned in Phoenix
Had left me to a darker fate
Scared in the night looking down from a desert sky
Flying in the night watching Phoenix die
[Chorus]
Fly
Night ride out of Phoenix
Fly
Night ride out of Phoenix
Fly by the Devil's side
Flying on the vengeance ride
Cold in the night watching Phoenix die
[Guitar Solo]
Scared in the night looking down from a desert sky
Flying in the night watching Phoenix die
[Chorus]
Fly
Night ride out of Phoenix
Fly
Night ride out of Phoenix
Fly by the Devil's side
Flying on the vengeance ride
Cold in the night watching Phoenix die
