Lyrics
Kickstand’s Up – lyrics by Mike Sales
Well it’d been so long since I heard that comforting hum
When I pulled off the cover and turned the key she cranked right up
I’d barely make a mile down the interstate til I missed you
There’s room in my bag for some clothes and a toothbrush
You probably won’t need any shoes
Chorus:
Cause the kickstand’s up and its not touching ground
Til we find ourselves in a saltwater town
Where the year around temperature is warm enough to ride
We’ve been dreaming all our lives,
what do you say we don’t sleep tonight
If you’re with me baby, I’ll take you on the ride of your life
There you go looking like why all the sudden now
Well the feeling overtook me and I didn’t try to figure it out
I don’t know if I could live without you by my side
Truthfully it never even occurred to me to try
Bridge:
And when the wheels roll down the road tonight
Tell me I’ll see two shadows in the moonlight
Chorus
If you’re with me baby, I’ll take you on the ride of your life
