Ride!

Pull back the dust sheet And I'm ready to meet An old friend of mine As black as the night Gear shift set on the right She tells me this is the time Nearly blind in one eye And my body may break But I'm just too young to die So I pull back the clutch Kick back the gears Pile on the revs Pile on the revs Out on the road On to the road and ride! I roar out of town On the road southbound It feels so good to be free On the Mowbray straight Where the Cairns cops wait I'll ease down to three My baby screams I slip into four It's time for the thrills and the fear One hundred again At the start of the range Around Yule Point I never look back No you never look back Lean into the bend and ride! At the top of the Rex I take in the view Across the blue Coral Sea The road hugs the land Above the rocks and the sand There's no place that I'd rather be! I ride the highway of life With my pretty blonde wife She tames the restless gypsy in me So pull back the clutch Kick back the gears Pile on the revs Yeah, pile on the revs Back on to the road On to the road and ride!
