Garrington T. Jones - Ride! Lyrics

Pull back the dust sheet
And I'm ready to meet
An old friend of mine
As black as the night
Gear shift set on the right
She tells me this is the time
Nearly blind in one eye
And my body may break
But I'm just too young to die
So I pull back the clutch
Kick back the gears
Pile on the revs
Pile on the revs
Out on the road
On to the road and ride!

I roar out of town
On the road southbound
It feels so good to be free
On the Mowbray straight
Where the Cairns cops wait
I'll ease down to three
My baby screams
I slip into four
It's time for the thrills and the fear
One hundred again
At the start of the range
Around Yule Point
I never look back
No you never look back
Lean into the bend and ride!

At the top of the Rex
I take in the view
Across the blue Coral Sea
The road hugs the land
Above the rocks and the sand
There's no place that I'd rather be!
I ride the highway of life
With my pretty blonde wife
She tames the restless gypsy in me
So pull back the clutch
Kick back the gears
Pile on the revs
Yeah, pile on the revs
Back on to the road
On to the road and ride!
