Riding To New York(Acoustic)
Well I met him in Minnesota
- Well I met him in Minnesota
- He was dark and overcast
- With long
- Grey hair and eyes that stared
- Through me like I was glass
- I asked "Where are you going to "
- He said "I'm the wind
- I'm just blowing through "
- He lit up a cigarette and began to talk
- Said:
- "The doctors told me
- That my body won't hold me
- My lungs are turning black
- Been a lucky strike's fool
- Since I was at school
- And there ain't no turning back
- They can't tell me how long I've got
- Maybe months but maybe not
- So I'm taking this bike
- And riding to New York
- 'Cause I wanna see my grand-daughter
- One last time
- Wanna hold her close
- And feel her tiny heartbeat next to mine
- Wanna see my son
- And the man he's become
- Tell him I'm sorry for the things I've done
- And I'd do it if I had to walk
- Oh I'm taking this bike
- And riding to New York
- Through the forests of Wisconsin
- That I knew as a boy
- Past the sky line of Chicago
- Round the lakes of Illinois
- I lay my head in a motel bed
- Where my back is sore
- And my eyes turn red
- Listen to the trucks roll past my door
- Through the fields of Ohio
- As the sunshine paints them gold
- I run just like a river runs
- Rapid quick and cold
- And fly through Pennsylvania
- And the Jersey turnpike tolls
- And I won't stop
- 'Till I get to New York
- 'Cause I wanna see my grand-son
- One last time
- Wanna see his eyes sparkling
- And stare back into mine
- Now my time is shorter
- I wanna see my daughter
- Tell her I'm sorry all the things
- That I have taught her
- And I'd do it if I had to walk
- Oh I'm taking this bike
- And riding to New York
- And I'd go up to the churchyard
- One last time
- Lay flowers down for the woman
- Who gave me the best years of my life
- And I'd do it if I had to walk
- I'd do it if I had to walk
- I'm taking this bike
- And riding to New York "
Let's listen to my solo!
