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
