RIDIING IN THE RAIN
Some folks ride in the rain
To wash away their tears
Yearning for days of yesterday
Never shifting gears
They always ride the same old roads
Never venturing into the unknown
Cursing their life for opportunities missed
Crying as they head home
I don’t dwell on days gone by
I took a different route
I look forward to the open skies,
Riding free is what it’s all about
So, I bring to life my iron beast
As quickly as can be
I don’t want to miss a moment in time
There's still too much left to see
I want to feel the winds of time
Blowing in my face
I want to find many new roads
Not happy to be just taking up space
I want to see what's up ahead
Not where I should have turned
Life's too short to have regrets
Just long enough to learn
So when the rain is upon us
When you hear the thunder crack
Go for a ride and cleanse your spirit
Get your life back on track
It's all right to walk down memory lane,
That’s part of who we are
But, today is for the living
To chase a shooting star
The thrill is in the mystery
Not what you already know
In the wind is where it’s happening
Not knowing where you are going to go
Life is riding all the twists and turns
Even when it starts to rain
It’s living in the moment
Ride on or go insane
You can’t see what’s around every corner
Sometimes you have to make a change
The world is yours for the taking
Even when it means riding in the rain
