FAWM song 11 - I've been writing on the theme of 'thresholds' or of changes both controlled and uncontrolled and how we respond to them. Nominally this is a song about taking very long bike rides to explore the world, but it's also a song of action and seeking out experiences that change us. #acousticonetake #acousticrock #change

The Ride (song)

(v1) Set the coffee up the night before Load it up and off I go Pick a point upon the map Head off and try to find a flow

Get to the place and then beyond Flying town to town None of them my last stop Exceed my latest bounds

(chorus) C - D - Em, C - D - G - A Ride till I don’t know where I am Try to catch my breath and push on till the end Go till I find my way again Ride till I don’t know where I am

(v2) There’s a road I’ve never noticed Heading left just off of here I can see where it might go If I can kick myself in gear

Its the strange and unfamiliar It’s the not quite where I’ve been It’s the feeling that I don’t quite Don’t know how to get back again

(br) C = A - Em - G - C - A you can go far you can be alone you can be unsure you can set the tone you can find your way If you don’t rush home

(chorus) Ride till I don’t know where I am Try to catch my breath and push on till the end Go till I find my way again Ride till I don’t know where I am
