The spring has finally come for me
The cover I have pulled away
Soon I will hear the purr of the engine
As my motorcycle will come to life today
I have longed to feel the engine
Power loaded beneath my seat
Wind blowing against my legs
As the chrome pegs hold my feet
I imagine the wind blowing past me
As down the highway I go
This is the freedom I have waited for
And the melting of the snow
The white lines are a blur now
As the throttle I give a twist
The engine gives a surge of power
This feeling all winter I have missed
I am gliding along now
No care in me do I feel
I know the thrill of my motorcycle
And how when riding I really feel
Up along winding roads I go
Leaning back and forth with care
I see others passing by me now
This same joy they too do share
I ride every chance that I can get
The weather never slows me down
Except for the extreme cold of winter
I think of it and quickly I frown
Well my ride is now over
As I have pulled back into my yard
I clean up my motorcycle with respect
A fresh coat of shine is its reward
Back into its safe haven I move it
Protecting my precious pride and joy
I do love the freedom it brings me
My motorcycle, they call my toy
