late, cool, autumn evening,
And the sunset melts into night.
With a v- twin throbbing beneath me,
And my head's spinning alright.
Ritchie and me - we started as kids
In a rock 'n' roll band on
the street where we lived.
It's a long, hard, ride till the morning.
As the trees and wind start to sing,
Chains around your heart that bind
Break away and leave them
once there was a time in this rock 'n' roll dream,
This, here, town would be
Everybody's job is getting
Life is just knockin' 'em down.
Boyhood dreams are run into the ground.
shadows hang over this town.
Cast away the chains that bleed.
Break away, and I leave you free.
Take my hand, come, leave with me.
We'll ride the hills and desert sand;
All the families have all gone.
Their jobs went before them I'm sure.
And put up a super, triple level,
There once was a time you
Who wouldn't try and stick
So cut out all your talkin',
Chains around your heart that bind.
