Two wheels a turnin'
One girl a yearnin'
Big motor burnin' the road
I'll ride the highway
I'm going my way
I'll leave a story untold
Pretty girls behind me but pretty girls are everywhere
Big motor wind up, ride away from here
Ride away
She won't approve of things I do or what I am
And I don't really give a ...... I understand
But she'll never see that I'll never be
Any one but me
She thinks she needs me, she cries for me
But I know she's lying, crying for others to see
What can I say, I'll just ride away
Big motor run run (background) ride ride away
Ride on away from big motor run run
Heart-ache and misery
I'm bound to wander
Way over yonder
Someone be waitin' just for me
True love to cling to, I need a dream to share
Someone to know me, Someone to show me they care
Ride away, ride away
From tears and sorrow
Like there's no tomorrow
Tonight I'll ride away
