?Living a Free-Wheeling Dream?

My Dad was the kind to follow a dream
No matter the when or to where
With a big road bike and Mama his queen
It seemed he was already there

But he revved up and left, before my time
Just had to go chasing the wind
When he learned about me I was almost nine
Longing for the dad he?d never been

Chorus:

Oh I hoped he?d ride down our road again
Back to the way it could have been
Loving us and his cruising machine
Living a free-wheeling dream

One night our phone rang, and I saw Mama cry
As she heard his voice once again
When she sobbed yes, let?s give it one more try
I knew I?d be finally meeting him

But next day on his way, speeding home to us
The rain in his face, tempting fate
He slid on a curve, side-swiped a bus
We got there one heartbeat too late

Chorus: Repeat

Bridge:

From toys to real wheels, I?ve been rolling since then
Now I understand his chasing the wind

Second Chorus:

Hey I pray he?s riding, somewhere ?round the bend
Waiting ?til we catch up with him
Loving us and his cruising machine
Living a free-wheeling dream
