Lyrics
Daddy was a Devil, Married a Cherokee The stars were wrong, Winds of time said it would never be They say she's lying in the Desert, With a cactus where her tombstone should be. Daddy took her from him That's what the Lawman said Found her car on the highway, Dashboard covered red Now the Sheriff says he won't rest, Til he sees my Daddy dead. Ride, ride, ride, ride, Daddy be free Ride, ride, ride, ride, Daddy be free Don't worry about me Daddy, Momma lives on in me. The whole town thinks you're guilty I can't believe its true They found another body And they're coming after you Daddy, Daddy be free, I couldn't bear to see you hang now, you'd be hanging for me. Ride, ride, ride, ride, Daddy be free Ride, ride, ride, ride, Daddy be free I swear I had to do it now, I it was either him or me.
