    CD: American Rider: A Biker Opera   Label: Waterloo
    Credits: Written by Ian Ballard

    Story Behind the Song
    The song was written for the American Rider story. It was actually written while mowing my lawn because the only bike I own anymore is a schwinn. The entire song only took about 10 minutes to write. It was recorded on 16 track analog tape with Lief Frederick on bass, Danny Oberbeck on drums, and I overdubbed everything else.

    Lyrics
    Rumblin and a rollin
    Kick it into gear and slip it out
    Rumblin and a rollin
    Flick your wrist to hear that rumbling sound
    Rolling down the road on a run to Ohio
    Baby hear me rumble and roll

    I've got a tank full of gas and my motor is tuned just right
    The tread's a little worn but baby she handles just fine
    She's a heavy metal horse
    She's a Harley of course
    And she ages like the finest of wines

    I ride her all day and dream about her all night long
    The rumble of the motor is almost like a beautiful song
    So flick your wrist boys
    Make some unholy noise
    Then roll away like exploding bombs
