King Of The Road

A gunshot went off, and my best man went down.
The king of the road had lost his crown.
Someday soon, he'll feel better I know.
He'll turn his key, rev up his engine, and go.
Cuz he's the king of the road, on his motorbike
Day and night.
And he's the king of the road, in his hot rod Chevy,
And his foot gets heavy.
He's the king of the road.
He's the king of the road.
He's the king of the road,
In his hot rod car, on his motorbike.
Day or night he rides.
Tears fell down, and he was thankful to be alive.
Laying in a hospital bed,
The king of the road had almost died.
Someday soon he'll feel better he hopes.
He'll turn his key, rev up his engine, and go.
Cuz he's the king of the road, on his motorbike
Day and night.
And he's the king of the road, in his hot rod Chevy,
And his foot gets heavy.
He's the king of the road.
He's the king of the road.
He's the king of the road,
In his hot rod car, on his motorbike.
Day or night he rides.
He's the king of the road, on his motorbike
Day and night.
And he's the king of the road, in his hot rod Chevy,
And his foot gets heavy.
He's the king of the road.
He's the king of the road.
He's the king of the road,
In his hot rod car, on his motorbike.
Day or night. Rain or shine.
Hot, cold, spring, summer, fall, and winter
He rides...

So sad.
Too sad
For words.

Fly Away

I'm filled with helium, but held down by that weight.
I'm gonna cut my ties, and float up before I deflate.
I'm a smiley faced balloon,
Bouncing around your hospital room.
I'm there to cheer you up, but sometimes I just remind you
Of how badly things can get messed up.
So I'll fly, fly away, and leave you be.
Fly, I'll fly, fly away.
I'll fly, fly away, and leave you to your dreams.
I'll fly, I'll fly. Fly away.
I'll fly, fly away, so fly with me.
I'll fly, I'll fly, fly away.
I'll fly, fly away, so fly with me.
I'll fly. I'll fly. I'll fly away.
It's time to fly away home.
