Music and lyrics by Steve Leonard
Ride on the good wheel, good wheel, ride on the good wheel
Ride on the good wheel, good wheel, ride on the good wheel
Ride on the good wheel, good wheel, ride on the good wheel
Ride on the good wheel, good wheel, ride on the good wheel
You probably can’t remember when you took off on this ride
The flame was just an ember of the comfort it supplied
Now the fire’s burning you with anger, fear, and pride
You can’t stop for nothin’, don’t even care to try
Stuck inside yourself, ignoring all the signs
Repeating in your mind, “all of this is fine”
You’re lookin’ like you’re closer to the end of the line
But we’re waitin’ right outside and you can get off any time
You can get off any time
You feel it for a while, but it’s taken you away
It hurts you, and you let it, it’s got plans to make you stay
A choice is right before you, only you can make
There’s a place where you can burn the bags of blame
Only takes a step to get off that nowhere train
Get off that nowhere train
Right when you get off, you’re back on the main line
You may find you left yourself in the bags you left behind
As you approach the rift, don’t feel that you’ve been stiffed
Be the fool who takes a chance and dive right off the cliff
Only then will see your intent start to shift
Then become a myth and live outside the grift
The whole world is a festival constrained by our minds
There’s nothing to be figured out but there’s truth beneath to find
Insanity makes it wobble, but the good wheel can never break
It’s a waste to squabble, love is always changing shape
When you’re bouncin’ on the cobble, the good wheel might test your strength
The tighter you hold on the more your heart will ache
But on the good wheel we don’t have no breaks
So put your arms up and scream “I am awake!”
“I am awake”
Awake
The price to be paid is one you can not steal
The scars left behind you are free to heal
Ignore all the announcements, no one can tell you how to feel
But the wounds are growing bigger and harder to conceal
In a moment that you look for, you can finally make a deal
To put the hard road behind you and dance on the good wheel
Dance on the good wheel
The rim is bent and broken, tire’s long been lost
We wobble on the mainline, but there’s no falling off
If you feel all alone, know you always have a friend
When you’re lost or think you’re at the end
Go back to now and you’re on the good wheel again
Ride on the good wheel, good wheel, ride on the good wheel
You’re on the good wheel again
Ride on the good wheel, good wheel, ride on the good wheel
You’re on the good wheel again
Ride on the good wheel, good wheel, ride on the good wheel
You’re on the good wheel again
Ride on the good wheel, good wheel, ride on the good wheel
Ride on the good wheel
