Chopper Man

A full tank means freedom
To those who ride the lines
Got a shovelhead diggin' through the memories in my mind
Hell, I'm always hittin' pay dirt

Good times is all I find
A full tank means freedom
When yesterday's a crime
Inked up my knuckles

With R.I.D.I.N
And for my others
L.I.V.I.N
Sold my soul just to pay the toll

But I cashed in on my sins
Ridin for a livin'
Just the work of a chopper man
Divorce, of course

Just a hazard of the job
A heart with no worth is meaningless to rob
And most the love I've made
Hell, I fabricated it

Out of lines I heard in movies, I must admit
Well, I don't feel much like feeling
'Cept wind in my ears
And I don't change for nothing

'Less I'm changin' these the gears
And if you're scared, well, go to church
If ya ain't, let's hit the road
I heard Jesus rode Pan that he built and never sold

And if thrill was a city, well, I'd live there till I die
And if freedom was a lady, I'd fight to be her guy
Loyal to the throttle and easy on the brakes
This way of life ain't easy but it gives more than it takes
