American Road


Motorcycle verses truck, you just can't win.
Cut off, there is nothing you can do.
Have to stay alert to keep alive.
Get off your cell phone and drive.
You can take me out and put me down.

People with compassion came to my side.
Pain, felt the pain rip my chest.
How would they feel if died?
I refuse to die on an American Road.
Keep the rubber side down, until you're not.

Stay down, my heart beats rapidly.
Ambulance ride to the hospital was my destiny.
Lying down was strapped to a board.
Keep me alive my dear Lord.
Guardian angel, I thank you again.

Let's be careful out there.
Just went for a ride to get some air.
Keystone cop is without a clue.
When you're alone look out for you.
I will not die on an American Road.
