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 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
