\n\u200bRunning from a storm at dusk<\/p>\n
My last piece was a rather long collection of unruly, electrical, mental impulses about riding motorcycles. I wrote this short one below with a riding buddy in mind since he has deferred writing down his road songs. We both have been running in front of a storm. It’s about to catch us. Time has come to ramble on about rambling on.<\/p>\n

\n\u200bRunning from a storm at dusk<\/p>\n
November xx 2018
\nRamble on
\nCoastal Empire<\/p>\n
My leaves are blowing along the ground,
\nSaying time is coming for me to be on my way.
\nThanks to riding, I’m much obliged
\nFor this wonderful stay.<\/p>\n
As the time is coming for me to go,
\nCold winter white moon lights my way.
\nBut now I can still smell that Montana hail,
\nAnd with it the scourging pain,
\nBut something’s headed my way.
\nYes, some days I grow so tired,
\nBut I feel I’ve still got things I got to do.<\/p>\n
Ramble on,
\nAnd now’s the time, the time is now
\nTo write my song.
\nI’ve been goin round the world,
\nI got to find meaning, on my way.
\nI’ve been riding so many years to this day, ramble on,
\nWas there a queen in those road dreams.<\/p>\n
Got no more time for casting oats,
\nThat time has come and gone.
\nAnd to our health we drank a thousand times,
\nIt’s time to ramble on.<\/p>\n
Ramble on,
\nAnd now’s the time, the time is now
\nTo write my song.
\nI’ve been goin round the world,
\nI got to find meaning, on my way.
\nI’ve been riding so many years to this day, ramble on,
\nWas there a queen in those road dreams.<\/p>\n
I ain’t tellin no lie<\/p>\n
Mine’s a tale, simple when told,
\nMy freedom I held dear;
\nHow years ago in days of old
\nWhen magic filled my soul,
\nTwas during the darkest days long ago
\nI found the road so fair,
\nBut life, and the evil ones crept up
\nAnd took me away from there
\nThere, there . . . yeah.
\nAin’t nothing I could do, no.<\/p>\n
Ramble on,
\nAnd now’s the time, the time is now
\nTo write my song.
\nI’ve been goin round the world,
\nI got to find meaning, on my way.
\nI’ve been riding so many years to this day, ramble on,
\nWas there a queen in those road dreams.<\/p>\n
Gonna ramble on, write my song
\nGotta keep-a-searchin for my roads, man . . .
\nGonna ride my way, round the world
\nI can’t stop this feeling in my heart
\nGotta keep searchin for my roads, man . . . <\/p>\n
Maybe the queen was at home all along
\nRambing time’s done, time to bring the road rings home
\nTime to write on, while we can
\nTime to write on, while we can<\/p>\n
