Till I Get Her Off My Mind
With the choppers engine
Roaring beneath my seat and
Black diamond tank
My feet rest on cruise pegs
Of chromed railroad spikes
As I soar like an eagle
Over the next hill and
Around the bend
Of this mountain road
With the wind in my face
I’ll continue this fated ride
With tattooed tears
Till I get her off my mind
White water rapids
Chase me from below
The mighty waters roar
Singing in unison
With the voice of my pipes
A song that carries me
Through these forest shadows
Of redwood and pine
Criss-crossing my paved path
With the wind in my face
I’ll continue this fated ride
With tattooed tears
Till I get her off my mind
Sleeping bag rolled tight
Strapped to the rear
Will be my bed where I lay
On a hard stony bank
Where I’ll drink through the night
Watching snow caps white
Under a million tiny stars
And a dying fire light
Till I wake to the calling open road
With the wind in my face
I’ll continue this fated ride
With tattooed tears
Till I get her off my mind
This canyon road
Seems to travel on
And forever more
And though the chasm
Whispers my name
And my wheels inch ever closer
I hold my course
Over ever climbing rise
And down into green valleys
With the wind in my face
I’ll continue this fated ride
With tattooed tears
Till I get her off my mind
As yellow lines blur
On this dark sable night
I close my eyes
And click off the light
Letting go handle-bars
I raise my hands
But hold tight with my legs
As my bike leaves this land
And I near my journeys end
With the wind in my face
I’ll continue this fated ride
With tattooed tears
Till I get her off my mind
