It’s a freedom-lovin lifestyle I adore
She’s waiting for me behind my garage door
She’s all dressed up and she’s ready to roll
Never talks back, always begging for more

If you don’t ride, then you don’t know
Where I’ve been and where I go
It’s all about the freedom of the open road
Open the throttle and roll

Everybody rides during ridin’ season
They ride different bikes for different reasons
Once you get on it’s hard to get off
If you go down I hope you lay her down soft

If you don’t ride, then you don’t know
Where I’ve been and where I go
It’s all about the freedom of the open road
‘Cause we see more through our sunglass lens
Than you’ll ever see in your Mercedes Benz
It’s time to feel the freedom of the open road
Open the throttle and roll

If you don’t ride, then you don’t know
It’s in our blood, it’s in our soul
It’s all about the healing you get from the open road

Along the way strangers become friends
This brotherhood of ours never ends
We play life’s hand like a poker run
Sacrifice your time for the fallen one

If you don’t ride, then you don’t know
Where I’ve been and where I go
It’s all about the freedom of the open road
It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old
Running with the pack or rollin’ on your own
It’s all about the freedom of the open road
Grab your handles, let’s roll
