Lyrics:

Changing down through the gears
Motor's roar in my ears
Open road, dark night wind
Am I gonna make that bend?

Country sheriff's on my tail
Lucky if my brakes don't fail
This is how a biker feels
Leather outlaw on two wheels

I gotta get away
I gotta get away
I gotta pay my dues in speed
I got a big machine
And in the head light beam
I see a big old tanker heading for me

Changing down through the gears
Motor's roar in my ears
Open road, dark night wind
Am I gonna make that bend?

I gotta get away
I gotta get away
I gotta pay my dues in speed
I got a big machine
And in the head light beam
I see a big old tanker heading for me

Changing down through the gears
Motor's roar in my ears
Open road, dark night wind
Am I gonna make that bend?

What's that cold breath in my eyes
Didn't know that he was here
Back seat rider, cloak and bones
Guess he's come to take me home

I gotta get away
I gotta get away
I gotta pay my dues in speed
I got a big machine
And in the head light beam
I see a big old tanker heading for me

Changing down through the gears
Motor's roar in my ears
Open road, dark night wind
Am I gonna make that bend?

Changing down through the gears
Motor's roar in my ears
Open road, dark night wind
Am I gonna make that bend?

Changing down through the gears
Motor's roar in my ears
Open road, dark night wind
Am I gonna make that bend?
