Christy Moore - The Acoustic Motorbike lyrics

The day began with a rainbow in the sand
As I cycled into Kerry
Cattle grazing on a steep hillside
Looked well fed, well balanced
Close to the edge

Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on i take a break, I close my eyes
And I'm happy as the dolphin
In a quiet spot talking to myself
Talking about the rain
Talking about the rain all this rain

Pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on

You see whenever I'm alone i tend to brood
But when I'm out on my bike
It's a different mood
I leave my brain at home
Get up on the saddle no hanging around
I don't diddle daddle

I work my legs i pump my thighs
Take in the scenery passing me by
The Kerry mountains or the Wicklow hills
The antidote to my emotional ills
A motion built upon human toil
Nuclear free needs no oil
But it makes me hot, makes me hard
I never thought I could have come this far
Through miles of mountains, valleys, streams
This is the right stuff filling my dreams
So come on, get up on your bike
Ah go on, get up on your bike

Pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on

Finally with my face to that bitter wind
I bombed it into Killarney
Skin raw like a sushi dinner and an appetite
That would eat the hind leg
Of the lamb of God even though you know
I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing
Then settle down for a quiet night
Think about what I've seen and done
And wonder

There's a reason for this now is the time
To speak of the problem troubling my mind
Sick of the traffic choking our towns
Freaking me out, bringing me down
Knock down houses, build more lanes
Once was a problem, now it's insane
My solution it's one that I like it's muddy
The Acoustic Motorbike
So come on, get up on your bike
Ah go on, get up on your bike pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on

Ah go on ah go on
Get up on your bike get up on your bike
