Clan Of The Iron Horse

My life’s the thrill of adventure

It’s a free life untasted by most

I get to see a world made for me

By riding this land coast-to-coast

My mind’s a storehouse of feelings

With memories no time can erode

For I am a member of the Iron Horse Clan

And the Brotherhood Of The Road

This brotherhood of the highway

Will survive longer than any can

Its metal is cast in a mold carved to last

And the strongest of all made by man

This bond of we two-wheel borne vagabonds

Has its roots deep in freedom of course

With a kinship entwined in a man’s state-of-mind

And the Clan Of The Iron Horse

In your world will you trust your life to your bro.

And stand by your own actions un-shamed

Can you look at your peer in the eye man-to-man

Will you trust him to do you the same

I’ve needed some help and been glad to give back

And feel that helping a bro. is no load

Cause I am a member of the Iron Horse Clan

And the Brotherhood Of The Road

To be one with the wind on the highway

To look up and see nothing but sky

To be tuned to the Earth like each ride’s a re-birth

To know freedom’s the ultimate high

If you’re lulled by the song of a twin-wheeled machine

Taking life as it comes sans remorse

Then you’ve paid your dues to the brotherhood my friend

And the Clan Of The Iron Horse
