	Story Behind the Song I wrote the song because I used to ride bikes but never lost the love for them. It was recorded rather quickly on a 16 track analog deck with Danny Oberbeck on drums and Lief Frederick on bass. I did all of the vocals and guitars. Lyrics On a two lane highway 1200 cc's Of American muscle on a quest to be free Black leather and chrome his hair in the breeze The American rider rides his clean machine He's got nothing to say nothing to lose Just a big old bike and a bunch of tatoos Ride on American Rider Carry on your legacy Ride on American rider It's in his blood his home is the breeze His only fight is his fight to be free Ask him 'bout his Harley it's man's best friend You can ride it 'round the world and then do it again It's a constant obsession ridin's on his mind The right time for the highway for him is anytime He's got nothing to say nothing to lose Just a big old bike and a bunch of tatoos Tailpipe thunder, chrome in the sun It's more than a bike It's more than just fun Working all week for a weekend run Rolling down the highway looking like the wild bunch
