LYRICS
It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
I was born the son of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives
Gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang
Never was the kind to do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind before I get old
It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
And I've got a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
Gonna ride like the wind
Ride
Gonna ride like the wind
Gonna ride
ABOUT CHRISTOPHER CROSS
Christopher Cross burst onto the music scene with his 1979 self-titled debut album produced by Michael Omartian. The lead single “Ride Like The Wind” spent 4 weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and was quickly followed up by Cross’ most popular single to date (and first #1 hit) “Sailing”, which later became known as the archetype for the Yacht Rock genre. In 1981, Cross became the first artist in Grammy history to win the “Big Four” most prestigious awards in a single night; Record of the Year (for the single “Sailing”), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (also “Sailing”), and Best New Artist. Later that year Cross released “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer, Peter Allen, and was the title-theme for the 1981 film “Arthur” starring Dudley Moorre and Liza Minnelli. The song earned Cross his second #1 and the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 1981 Academy Awards. Cross’ sophomore album “Another Page” was released in 1983 and featured the singles “Think of Laura” and “All Right”. Cross has sold over 10M albums worldwide and his songs have been covered and sampled by NSYNC, Puff Daddy, Avant, Shirley Bassey, Dione Warwick, and many more.

“Lived nine lives…gunned down ten.”
What a lyric.
Wow. Never looked it up but kept meaning to.. Absolutely excellent. Would expect nothing less of him. His recent interview on the Beato channel here is not to be missed.
Up to now I thought it was a tribute to Rudyard Kipling... ''lived nine lives..Gunga Din''...
YES!!!!
Who's here in 2024 listening to one of the best songs from 1980?
Had to listen after watching Michael Omartian being interviewed by Rick Beato yesterday (brilliant interview if you haven't seen it). Hadn't listened to this for years - what a song.
ME ❤
👋🏽
I'm here : )
@@fayewittwer5208 me, too
Christopher Cross and Michael McDonald are MAGIC together !!!
👍
100% agree!!!
I thought that was McDonald in there.
Yah mo B there
What a great song! I remember driving fast to that song in my old red 68 Triumph GT6. (fun car but had to be repaired more than driven lol!)
My grandpa had a red '68 Mustang he never took out from under the tarp. I was 20 before I ever saw it, in late 2019. He knew he was almost done here on Earth, and he took Grandma, Mom and Me out to an old straightaway in rural Missouri, told us he was gonna let her stretch her legs one last time. He put the top down and loaded this on the 8-track he'd grafted to the car. We hit 116mph and I'd never seen him smile more. Within a month he was gone. I never knew if I'd find the song. Miss you, Grandpa Gene. And to Christopher and Michael, thank you for scoring my best memory.
Love this, what a great memory, thanks for sharing with us!
What a fantastic memory it was like I could see you guys getting it down the highway without a care in the world!!!God bless your Grandpa Gene he had great taste in cars and music!!!
Might've made this guy tear up a little there...The right people,the right car and the right song,for a perfect moment!
Right on, Thanks for sharing that beautiful memory with us. Ride like the wind brother ❤
Sounds like you have a great memories
Unmistakable voice of Michael McDonald. Such a great tune.
Christopher Cross with a little help from Michael McDonald..this is a song that never gets old!
J'adore et je ne m'en lasse jamais. Qui écoute encore en 2024?
It was my youth, I'm 60 years old😊
Moi! J’ai 38 ans.
Its 1am im at cigar with two bros with a fine bourbon and we're listening.
@@lovemikechan188 62 here bro
😂I have this album and, I have my old stereo system turntable etc.
Michael McDonald's backing vocals add so much to the hook of this song.
Yep.
He's a national treasure.
I knew he sound familiar 😩😩😩😩
I was searching for this song for a little bit. I heard Micheal in the background and thought it was the dooby Brothers for awhile.
Then one day it was on the radio and I paid attention to the lyrics more to look them up.
Great tune.
My father had this on a mix tape and we played it over and over on a straight drive from Miami to Knoxville. RIP Dad.
❤️🩹
What car were you driving at that time?
@@CadanHartleyElliott 64 chevy malibu
@@travisporco Awesome car.
@@CadanHartleyElliott this one had rusted floorboards and a starter button installed but it did just fine
The one that started it all...a classic in 1979/80...a classic in 2023. The song is perfection. Be proud of this one, Good Cowboy Renegade, Sir.🤠🐎
2023 he’ll yea ride like the wind
On my top-10 all-time list.
Saw him tonight. Good as ever 0:38
@@BlueHillCountryyet up i
My Dad owned this album on Vinyl in 1979/1980
I'm 54 now myself
My Dad passed in January this Year
Where have all the good times and good tunes gone 🤠
Interesting how this song bridges the sounds of the 70s and 80s.
Well-said
Indeed
You have to love how RUclips is the closest thing to a time machine ❤
That's what my wife calls it.
@@gregoryhainsworth2663 ❤️
That and an 80s car. I love listening to this as I drive mine.
I thought I was the only one who thought of RUclips that way lol
It's kind of like the Library of Congress for audio and video memories.
I'm glad my 7 year old knows what good music is! She requested this song tonight and I felt like a good parent!!
well done ! here in Spain parents are happy when children request rock and old pop instead of reaggeton 😂
@jaumetdepalma5347 I too am a Gen Z boy, but I think that classics like this are much better than the auto-tune rubbish that we get today.
Real music 😎💪🏻
Christopher Cross is a phenomenal guitar player. It's a little hard to hear but that solo at the end of this song is just terrific.
yes!
Just saw Beato’d take on that solo which was phenomenal! He actually was able to raise the solo so you can acutely hear it! I actually heard Chris perform this live and he was amazing!!
Indeed it is
I thought that was Eric Johnson
You can hear one unobstructed version of the solo in his live performance at ruclips.net/video/LpBi1-ts_0k/видео.html
Whenn life was still fun and no worries.
I drove a truck for 46 years in north Jersey and NYC and this was my favorite song 🎶 helped me get through the day HALLELUJAH !!! 👏🎶😁👍🏻😎🧐🇺🇸🎯
You'd need it going through the Tunnels!!

1979..."Ride Like The Wind"... Christopher Cross's Masterpiece ! ✨
Christopher Cross ,one of the most under rated talent😢But WE love you.
Underrated!?
He won an Academy Award for Arthur's Theme
Nominated for 9 grammys and won 5 of them!!
Nominated for prime time emmy.
He got ❤️
Best song on the album! Should’ve been #1 in America! Just missed out at #2. Cross does a kick ass guitar solo!!!
So many childhood memories of this song. Love CC and MM
A great classic in 1979 and still is today in 2023
We're all outlaws on the run when we're listening to this song!
By far the most cold blooded lyrics in history
It really tells a story in such a badass way
Agreed
Total Badassery.
obviously never listened to gangster rap
@bikerjon8934 I grew up through the early 90s so yeah I have
@@bikerjon8934 Yeah but you'll never hear gangster rap in a classy formal setting. That's what makes this song so much more badass.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the wind would blow us back to the 1980’s ?
I wish🙂
It literally can. And this guy will be there. #The80sCruise
@@harrisongillis9756 Let's all get ready to go😁
We'll go together

This song perfectly represents wild mustang horses here in the U.S. Run wild, run free forever, you beautiful mustang horses.
I love that the backup vocals are the legendary Michael Macdonald himself.
I KNEW it
Amen
totally Michael Macdonald
YAMO BE THERE
Sometime in the early '80's, Huffy bicycles used Ride Like the Wind in a commercial that I only saw once in primetime. In those much more fit days I was an enthusiastic bicyclist and before portable audio this song would play in my head every ride up the San Diego coast. Today, at 72 years old, though my pace has become anything but like the wind, I still enjoy the ride and this song is still the soundtrack. Thank you, sir.
I was born in 76, but I remember that commercial. I’m glad I’m not the only one that remembers that commercial when I hear this song.
. @campbellj20 Thanks for posting that reply. It's reassuring that my memory isn't playing tricks on me. Yet.
I was born in 77 & we kids had Huffy bikes growing up. Loved them & I was absolutely wild about this album even earlier....probably one of my earliest memories. Really glad for your comment because I had no idea about the commercial...if I saw it, I just don't remember. So cool to hear 2 things that made my childhood great joined forces!! ❤
Evidently, I'm a little slow in more ways than one. I forgot to google....ruclips.net/video/jMgYNm4Q6dM/видео.html Eureka!
🎉
Der Song meiner Jugend in Ost-Berlin. Konnte das auch auf der Gitarre spielen. Als ich vor ein paar Jahren in Kalifornien war, habe ich es nachts ganz laut am Strand gesungen. Danke Christopher Cross, fuer diesen wunderbaren Song! Er ist perfekt!
Yes!! Brilliant
Eu sou o comentário Brasileiro que você Procura , Ouvindo Essa pedrada em 2024 ..
I think I have now listened to this song at least 1000x and now my 3 cats love it too.😉 When I play this song I sing it to my cats and they act like I have withheld food for days. 😂 But how many cats get to hear this masterpiece? This artist/song is a gift that keeps on giving. ❤
😅😂😂
Nothing like a well-educated cat 🐈 🎶
A hardcore hip hop song masquerading as yacht rock. Brilliant stuff.
Absolutely fantastic! These songs are eternal. Love them now as I did the first time I listened to them. Thank you, Mr. Cross. 💐💐💐
Bons tempos estes! Daqui do Brasil, também curtimos!!
I love yacht rock!
85 freightliner screaming across the desert in the middle of the night from Vegas to Tuscon! Great night I'll never forget! Circa 1990 ish.😊
You been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tahachipi to Tonohpa ?
The desert is so much fun at night, awesome memories
Smokey and ba n det did run semi turck clock in 96. Mph semi truck top soeed
J'ai retrouvé cette chanson grâce à une publicité qui est diffusée en ce moment à la télévision. Que de bons souvenirs....
Ha bon ! un succès planétaire de l'époque ,bien sûr pour ceux qui aiment et s'intéressent à la musique !
Pareil 😂
Sing brought me Here, Worth it!!!😮 🐌
What a song to cap off the '70s. Superb in every way.
Another absolute classic from a very talented man.
His effemin@te voice does not convince me that he "spoke his mind with a g*n in his hand," or that he "g*nned down ten." I am more apt to believe he is driving down to Mexico to purchase the services of a male prostitute.
Agreed!
Boy when he says
ITTT IS THE NIGHT
My bodys weak
IM ON THE RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
..no time to sleep
Hardest delivery ever
This and Sailing are timeless.
I agree
J'adore cette chanson quand j'étais DJ je l'a passé souvent bien rythmique la pub avec des animaux génial 🐱🐕
The dogs in a Lincoln Continental 😂
This song goes hard af 🔥🔥🔥
So glad to grow up with such classics ‼️
Sense of freedom with this song..always listening
I miss the good ole days of the 7Os & 80s....music & all!! The best two decades of my life.
Fully.
Souvenir sur la route en voiture et en accélérant et en écoutant à fond "Roulez comme le vent" en 2013 avec mon Père, inoubliable dernier voyage, mon père m'a dit " MON FILS TU RESTERA TOUJOUR UN ENFANT " Merci Cris
Love the Michael MacDonald back-up vocals! Great song!
Years ago, when I used to ride a motorcycle, there were certain songs that I would sing while traveling down the highway. This was one of them, and it fit very well.
Same love it
My fave was Rockin' Down the Highway, which is kinda funny. I came here because I just saw CC's interview with Rick Beato and he talked about Michael MacDonald doing the "answer" part in this song. All these years and I never even noticed. Yep, it's him. Love this song.
Master cgef ride scoters
What an album!!!!What an artist!!!! Magnificent!!!!! It will always endure so timeless and well loved!!!!Thanks Mr. Christopher Cross!!!! Cheers!!!!

CC with MM backup...those different vocal artists....magic!
I heard he took a while putting this album together. You can tell. The best. And McDonald backing!!!
Timeless....the vocal deliver is superb

This is perfect driving through the Arizona or Nevada desert
Masterpiece
Christopher cross is pure magic what a singer and guitarist truly unbelievable artist shame he didn't last for years in music he went of charts then
Love love this song. 😊 Christopher ride like the wind my friend.
Chris cross is just as awesome now as he was back in the day. We will never have music like this again
Met somone recently....but, all led astray...while this song kept reminescing....of the good times...
One of the most perfect albums ever made. Timeless
Hey i rode like the wind when this came out SAY HELL YEAH if you scroll out
Beautiful.
The greatest guitar solo that nobody heard.
Definitely his best. What a great song with McDonald in the background. They sound great together.
Who is listening to this 2024 great songs ❤
🙋♂️
🥰
I.
Me! 🤚🏼
I first heard when I was watching Ruby Gillman teenage kraken on Netflix
Christopher Cross é o ídolo improvável: tímido, discreto, fora de todos os padrões do showbizz, mas que deu de ombros pra tudo isso e apostou no que sabe fazer de melhor: MÚSICA!
E cá entre nós, a gente precisa de mais alguma coisa?
Simplesmente desfrute 🎸🎵🎶😌
The song of my life. Since 1980 until now 😊
Awesome song, always love his music. Gives me great memories of the 80's.🎹🎼
Musicão tôp clássico de 79 🔊 da melhor qualidade tenho 39 anos e até hoje curto essas músicas. Músicas assim ficam marcadas eternamente em nossas memórias.
40 years ago Music was so talented what has happened? Thank God Hollywood Movies are always using these classics
There's still plenty of good music, you just have to dig for it. Our nation is losing its soul, so superficial crap is promoted, in every arena. Look for what's true and honest, and you'll find it...
(Jesus)
La mejor...de todos los tiempos!!
Rick Beato's video revealing Chris's excellent guitar blew my mind, and I cant agree more - he was robbed by the mixers, as his solo is amazing!
Still playing this in 2024 😊 yep the uk needs cheering up big time. Missing real music 🎵 from 80s
Beautiful song, Beautiful voice, great artist. Long life, dear Chistopher!!
Ho ballato con questo brano fino allo sfinimento era troppo bello. Era un viaggio nelle magiche note di questa musica 🎼🎵🎶🎶💫
San Diego in the 80’s - RIP Dad
500 years from now this song will be amazing!!! Thanks Christopher Cross and Happy Independence Day America!!!!
Yessir!!
We played Ride Like the Wind in Band in high school back in the early 90s and it was awesome!! I just watched your interview with Rick Beato. Great interview and thank you so much for the music over the years. You were one of my moms favorites.
Always fun to hear the behind the scenes stories and how everything came together (like the intro)
We played this too and it always killed the crowd.❤❤

Oh the music of 80
All my memories
1979
Thanks for the uploading a classic
YES!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
An epic guitar solo, the back voice of Michael McDonald, the scaping lyrics... Christopher Cross could have justified his whole existence with this song only.
Just got from Steve Lukather interview:
Luke actually did a guitar solo for this song but his solo was BURIED during the production. Instead, Christopher Cross's solo got into the record instead.
Michael McDonald has such an amazing voice.
Not without Chris Cross
Relentless banger! Even after all these years this song still rules SUPREME! One of the best compositions/songs I've ever heard! ♥
What a great closing solo. When I first heard this on my record player, I was stunned to look at the credits to read it was Christopher Cross.
Timeless!🎸🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great song and melody to be used for inspiration whilst driving on those long roads and highways in the USA!
One of THE BEST intros to any song out there!!! Just hearing that smooth, slow buildup to that sweet, jamming beat drop gets me so pumped every time💃💃💃💃💃💃such a great song!!!😻😻😻😻😻😻
I couldn't tell how many 100's of times I hit the dance floor to this song. Absolutely a classic piece of musical art!
Flashback: 1980!!
I was 9.
Great road trip song.
Yes❤
Música fantástica!! Incrível!! Nunca canso de ouvir!!❤❤❤❤
They need to remaster this with his guitar solo cranked up! Thanks Rick Beato, now I cant unhear that awesome solo!!
This song is perfect when you are driving in a Chevrolet Camaro convertible going 110 mph in the highway heading to Mexico
😉
It sounds good in my morris 1000 to that all I can afford 😂🎉
i work at mcdonalds and it was playing there so i been listening since earlier
I listen on my Schwin one-speed
Boosted integra @ 163 on i5 at 1am🖤🤷🏻♂️
What a great song 💙
I always have this song stuck in my head when I’m on the freeway heading south from San Diego to border with Mexico into Baja
3:25 one of the all-time great rock guitar solos...that no-one can really hear! this song desperately needs a remix to adjust the volume of the amazing playing on display here.
Rick Beato did a video about this calling the greatest guitar solo nobody heard. Funny that he did a video about my own comment back when this came out.
