lyrics

Dug a bike out the backyard shed
Still works like a charm
Thick tooth tires and hard spokes ready to ride
Gonna tackle the hard-nosed trail
Of the California-Illinois line
Shower up, shave and stand out right by your side

And he's sweet, he's witty
Shares what he's got
And what little he's got is enough
His loyal and gentle way
Give you reason enough to stay
But still I pedal on

Broke the gate of the Grass Valley north
To the desert below
Picturesque state of despair
For not an ounce of hope
Rang the bell of the Great Salt Lake
Found a friendly hello
Selling my pride back for two cents door to door

And he's sweet, he's witty
Shares what he's got
And what little he's got is enough
His loyal and gentle way
Give you reason enough to stay
But still I pedal on

Says on the map that I passed Cheyenne
Must of missed it I suppose
Plowed through the trail to the Omaha border
Just a pinching my nose
Turn the page on the fields of gold
Got a chapter to go
To catch in my eye the lakeside that you call home

And he's sweet, he's witty
Shares what he's got
And what little he's got is enough
His loyal and gentle way
Give you reason enough to stay
But still I pedal on
