Freedom (Song Version)

A full blast rock song about the joys of motorcycling!

Riding down the highway,

Wind blowing in my hair,

I don't know where I'm going,

I'll know when I get there.

Ride for your life,

Ride that road to hell,

Ride into the sunset,

With a rebel yell.

The road in front is endless,

The road behind is gone,

The moment's all that matters,

Just let the ride be long.

Ride for your life,

Ride that road to hell,

Ride into the sunset,

With a rebel yell.

The iron horse is roaring,

Like a giant jungle cat,

The speed is getting faster,

I'm flying like a bat.

Ride for your life,

Ride that road to hell,

Ride into the sunset,

With a rebel yell.

The engine roars like thunder,

It's pounding in my ears,

Life falls away around me,

As I go screaming down the years.

Ride for your life,

Ride that road to hell,

Ride into the sunset,

With a rebel yell.

Death rides along beside me,

I can feel him in my bones,

But as long as I keep riding,

He can't claim me for his own.

Ride for your life,

Ride that road to hell,

Ride into the sunset,

With a rebel yell.

RIDE...

“Life falls away around me, as I go screaming down the years.”- OMG! Great free-wheeling song Iron Horseman. I hear Allman Brothers and Leonard Skynyrd wailing this one from above with Clapton down here on guitar. Killer verses, bridge, rhythm and rhyme. This absolutely Rocks- Standing Ovation!

[The Iron Horseman]

Thank you so much, Annette. I was thinking this could be the current generation's 'Born To Be Wild'! :)
Yes, I can see Skynyrd doing this - love them - but I was thinking Def Leppard! Maybe Jimmy Page as guest guitarist! I wish! Lol.

I get a feeling of something like Billy Idol - like White Wedding or Blue Highway style...

really nice - but I want to hear you view on who sings something like this style

[The Iron Horseman]

Thank you.
If it was to be Billy Idol, it would be more like Dead On Arrival, but I was envisioning someone more like the Cult or perhaps AC/DC.

[Neville]

Reads like a rock anthem.. I bet it sings like one too........ the louder the better.. nice....... Neville

[The Iron Horseman]

Yep, raw energy and screaming guitars!
Thanks, Neville.

[Neville]

just as I thought... very nice indeed..... Neville

[The Iron Horseman]

Thanks again. :)

Love this great song. Full blast on the radio. With the tires screaming and you on the highway. After midnight all alone with this roaring out loud. Now that is my type of fun-filled euphoric moments. Thanks for sharing.

[The Iron Horseman]

Wow! You've caught the atmosphere exactly. Thank you, Dawn.

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

Need some Jim Morrison. Back-door man and L.A ladies playing. Nice flow of thoughts and I liked the energy in the words shared. Thank you my friend for sharing the outstanding poetry. I liked this one.

Yeah, you nailed it, my friend. 'Riders On The Storm' it is!
