Harley Ride


I'm beginning to look like

Many a motorcycle driver,

Getting wiser and older

Like million mile rider.


Pacific Northwest then south

Riding all day

Through the redwood forests

Santa Cruz and Monterey.


Salt Lake City, Albuquerque,

Riding hard across the USA.

Amarillo, Oklahoma,

The big OK.

Little Rock, Memphis,

To Atlanta G. A.

Atlanta to Savannah

Turn around the other way.


Now I'm heading back west

Just for the fun of the run,

My body, my Harley, and

My mind have become one,

So at the end I'll keep riding

Into the setting sun.


All my roads have been passable;

All my days have been good.

If you find me dead along the way,

Bury me with my Hog.

Understood?
