Over the Ridge Lyrics by We the Chocolate Sparrow

Great American Bike Mantras

0

Over the ridge and into the valley
I will be traveling on
Follow Doe Run to something less heavy
Where the sun’s always setting on your heart
On the farm…
As the Mennonite men when they tend to their crops and they tend to their house
And their wives on the porch hang the clothes to dry off
I dream of settling down
If only to have that porch and that lawn
And for something to give to my kids when I’m gone
And we’d always keep cold lemonade for travelers traveling on
As they pass by in the everlasting dawn
Over the ridge and into the valley
I will be traveling on
Follow 8th Ave to Webster and Coney
Where the moon’s always calling on your heart
From your apartment
Every night a new flavor to try
Every stroll in the park a million sets of strange eyes
And the subways are full of assumptions and lies
I just tune ‘em all out and accept the surprise
Of the real
In the dark
When no one sees
Who you are
I can keep beat
On these grey city streets
I just hum to the tune
And keep time on my knees
Heaven’s where rent is cheap
And adventures are free
I just keep my eyes peeled
And keep time on my knees
Over the ridge and into the valley
I will be traveling on
Follow the road to futures uneasy
‘Cause one day your legs will turn off
Whether you like it or not
So why not?
