[00:14.90]	I became the heiress to a red and rusted bicycle
[00:19.30]	Built like a tank from Sears Roebuck circa 1952
[00:24.99]	It had been entrusted to me by my late great uncle Pat
[00:29.72]	And I guess he didn't ride it much
[00:32.58]	Both tires on the bike were flat
[00:39.98]	Pat had died at Christmas time in 1991
[00:44.98]	He had fallen off the wagon
[00:47.44]	And he sunk into a Christmas funk
[00:50.06]	My father he had found him
[00:52.37]	Two days after he had died
[00:54.89]	Well he drank himself to death one night
[00:58.15]	In a little home he owned by the seaside
[00:59.90]	When I took the bike and I cleaned it up
[01:02.44]	And my father he patched up the tires
[01:05.81]	Am I going to town or just spinning my wheels
[01:09.39]	And when I die I wonder how it feels
[01:12.24]	Hey and I'm riding around riding around on it
[01:15.80]	Hey just riding around riding around on it
[01:21.00]	Hey you know I'm riding around
[01:26.93]	riding around on it. Hey!
[01:30.74]	The funeral service was a few days later
[01:33.17]	At a place down the street from where he had lived
[01:35.55]	There wasn't a hell of a turn out
[01:37.88]	He had never married and he never had kids
[01:40.64]	The coffin lid was open
[01:43.07]	Pat was lying inside
[01:45.79]	His sister had a picture of a poodle named Pepper
[01:48.25]	She put it in his hand and then she cried
[01:55.81]	Now I'm riding around in the city
[01:58.25]	Through the smog and the summer heat
[02:00.55]	And I'm blowing through all the red lights
[02:03.39]	I guess you could say I'm feeling lucky
[02:05.94]	And the taxis and the trucks
[02:08.38]	Everybody's blowin' their horns
[02:10.90]	And I got a bicycle bell to ring
[02:13.51]	And I got a notion to sing as I'm riding along
[02:16.61]	Hey and I'm riding around riding
[02:21.48]	Hey just riding around riding around on it
[02:27.80]	Hey you know I'm riding around
[02:47.10]	chorus
[02:50.56]
[02:52.15]	Well I didn't even really know him at all
[02:57.42]	And I wonder can he see me
[03:01.02]	As I'm riding along
[03:04.30]	Riding along
[03:09.24]
[03:17.03]	The day that Pat was buried
[03:19.22]	The air was cold and clear
[03:21.48]	And we drove out to the cemetery
[03:24.37]	And snow flew around in the air
[03:26.64]	And a hired man from the State
[03:28.73]	He played taps on a coronet
[03:31.70]	And a flag was presented to his sister
[03:34.22]	For time in the service that Pat had spent
[03:36.61]	When he used to ride on the bike
[03:39.33]	Way back in ‘52
[03:41.77]	He was starting out a life
[03:44.35]	And the bike it was brand new
[03:47.05]	And life was laid before him like
[03:48.56]	a platter before a king
[03:52.02]	He was young and he was handsome
[03:54.31]	and the world was alive with meaning
[03:56.75]	Hey Hey
[04:00.01]	The world was alive with meaning
[04:02.45]	Hey and I'm riding around riding around on it
[04:07.84]	Hey just riding around riding around on it
[04:14.30]	Hey you know I'm riding around
[04:18.50]	riding around on it. Hey!
