| [00:14.90] | I became the heiress to a red and rusted bicycle |
| [00:19.30] | Built like a tank from Sears Roebuck circa 1952 |
| [00:24.99] | It had been entrusted to me by my late great uncle Pat |
| [00:29.72] | And I guess he didn't ride it much |
| [00:32.58] | Both tires on the bike were flat |
| [00:39.98] | Pat had died at Christmas time in 1991 |
| [00:44.98] | He had fallen off the wagon |
| [00:47.44] | And he sunk into a Christmas funk |
| [00:50.06] | My father he had found him |
| [00:52.37] | Two days after he had died |
| [00:54.89] | Well he drank himself to death one night |
| [00:58.15] | In a little home he owned by the seaside |
| [00:59.90] | When I took the bike and I cleaned it up |
| [01:02.44] | And my father he patched up the tires |
| [01:05.81] | Am I going to town or just spinning my wheels |
| [01:09.39] | And when I die I wonder how it feels |
| [01:12.24] | Hey and I'm riding around riding around on it |
| [01:15.80] | Hey just riding around riding around on it |
| [01:21.00] | Hey you know I'm riding around |
| [01:26.93] | riding around on it. Hey! |
| [01:30.74] | The funeral service was a few days later |
| [01:33.17] | At a place down the street from where he had lived |
| [01:35.55] | There wasn't a hell of a turn out |
| [01:37.88] | He had never married and he never had kids |
| [01:40.64] | The coffin lid was open |
| [01:43.07] | Pat was lying inside |
| [01:45.79] | His sister had a picture of a poodle named Pepper |
| [01:48.25] | She put it in his hand and then she cried |
| [01:55.81] | Now I'm riding around in the city |
| [01:58.25] | Through the smog and the summer heat |
| [02:00.55] | And I'm blowing through all the red lights |
| [02:03.39] | I guess you could say I'm feeling lucky |
| [02:05.94] | And the taxis and the trucks |
| [02:08.38] | Everybody's blowin' their horns |
| [02:10.90] | And I got a bicycle bell to ring |
| [02:13.51] | And I got a notion to sing as I'm riding along |
| [02:16.61] | Hey and I'm riding around riding |
| [02:21.48] | Hey just riding around riding around on it |
| [02:27.80] | Hey you know I'm riding around |
| [02:47.10] | chorus |
| [02:50.56] | |
| [02:52.15] | Well I didn't even really know him at all |
| [02:57.42] | And I wonder can he see me |
| [03:01.02] | As I'm riding along |
| [03:04.30] | Riding along |
| [03:09.24] | |
| [03:17.03] | The day that Pat was buried |
| [03:19.22] | The air was cold and clear |
| [03:21.48] | And we drove out to the cemetery |
| [03:24.37] | And snow flew around in the air |
| [03:26.64] | And a hired man from the State |
| [03:28.73] | He played taps on a coronet |
| [03:31.70] | And a flag was presented to his sister |
| [03:34.22] | For time in the service that Pat had spent |
| [03:36.61] | When he used to ride on the bike |
| [03:39.33] | Way back in ‘52 |
| [03:41.77] | He was starting out a life |
| [03:44.35] | And the bike it was brand new |
| [03:47.05] | And life was laid before him like |
| [03:48.56] | a platter before a king |
| [03:52.02] | He was young and he was handsome |
| [03:54.31] | and the world was alive with meaning |
| [03:56.75] | Hey Hey |
| [04:00.01] | The world was alive with meaning |
| [04:02.45] | Hey and I'm riding around riding around on it |
| [04:07.84] | Hey just riding around riding around on it |
| [04:14.30] | Hey you know I'm riding around |
