I'm
sorry friends that I
can't be with you to
celebrate today
If you're all gathered
round and reading this,
I've probably passed away
but if I were there I'd
tell you not to shed a
tear or frown
I'd tell you just to
simply say, another Biker
has gone down.
If I were there I'd tell
you that I had a
wonderful life
That I loved my kids and
family and especially my
wife.
I loved all my drinking
buddies and all my
life-long friends
I'd raise a toast to all
of you, "May your
party never end."
If I were there I'd tell
you how I loved the the
small blue highways
How I loved the curving
mountain roads, loved to
ride the back-road
byways.
And how I loved it
"in the wind",
loved it when that engine
rumbled,
and the biker friends who
rode with me and would
help me when I stumbled.
You are amongst my
dearest friends, brothers
and sisters of the road,
We've traveled many miles
together, shared many
heavy loads.
If I could be there, we'd
laugh and share the
memories from our past,
and this gathering would
be just one more tale,
another story, not our
last.
But today I can't be with
you, except in your
hearts and memory stores
So you'll have to laugh,
lift a glass to me, then
let your engines roar.
Please smile and do not
shed a tear, wipe away
that silly frown.
I'm off upon that final
ride, another Biker who
has gone down.
