Start Over
We fly through life on a Harley or a Honda
Searching for meaning in the way out yonder
What’s happened before won’t kill what lies ahead
We have to go on or wind up dead
Every time we fail and fall
We gotta go on and crash through the wall
Mexico to Massachusetts, life offers clover
But when we fall, we gotta start over
With a devil on our back
And an angel on our shoulder
It’s a fight with the dark knight
Till we make him take flight
When we think we win, we lose
We just can’t leave the bike on cruise
We have to get up…and start over
Get in touch…
