lyrics

I remember my old roller skates though it’s a long time ago
I think I got them in 1963
All the kids were riding down that forbidden graveyard road
The one who got told off was mostly me
Our knees were bloody but our hearts were brave, after school we were riding until dawn
I’m dreaming of my old roller skates, though they’re gone, gone, gone
And again I got that feeling on my mind
Oh how I wish I could ride them one more time

I remember my old motor bike though it’s many years ago
I bought it second hand in 73
Already on my first ride I was tumbling on the road
I was trembling with fear but feeling free
First of all I was drilling through the exhaust box
so it could go 70 miles and more
I’m dreaming of my old motor bike, though it’s gone, gone, gone
And again I got that feeling on my mind
Oh how I wish I could ride it one more time

It’s not the distance, nor the destination but it’s the ride

And I never will forget my first Volkswagon bus
When I bought it, it was almost a wreck
But nevertheless it brought me to the atlantic coast
No seat belts but big speakers in the back
It was rolling on and on til the end of the seventies
until relentless police tore us apart
I am dreaming of my Volkswagon bus, though it’s gone, gone, gone
And again I got that feeling on my mind
Oh how I wish I could ride it one more time

But most of all I remember our American RV
We bought it in LA some years ago
It brought us through the desert, over the mountain, to the sea
Through the blazing heat and the ice cold snow
After six month we resold it in old Tucson town, there were tears in the eyes of you and me
Over and over I’m dreaming of our American RV
And again I got that feeling on my mind
Oh how I wish I could ride it one more time
