Two wheels a turning
One girl a yearning
Big motor burning 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 waiting 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
