There is a certain pride To a biker from the South
His soul shines through in his actions
Also the words that come from his mouth
The people that he truly loves, They are
often very few
But they all know who they are
They know for them the things he’ll do
He will be there for his children No matter
what the cost
He’ll also be there for his woman
When she needs him most
He’s there for his brothers and his sisters
With a quick joke and a brew
He’s also there when all they need Is just
someone to talk to
There are few men like this
Weather you search far or wide
It is a terrible tragedy When a
Brother like this, takes his final ride
But a man such as this Even
after he is gone
Has not left you alone at all
Cause his spirit will carry on
He’ll be there when you wake up
On a bright sunny, summer day
His memories will always make you smile
When your world has turned to gray
There’s pain in your heart now
cause you’ll never again hear him say
“Come on Cheer the hell up manâ€
Or
“Let’s roll some miles awayâ€
But know when you roll out
To take off for a ride
He’ll be there beside you His
spirit riding by your side Know that your brother
On heavens roads will now roll On his
brand new Harley That he fabricated from heaven’s gold
Then just think of the day That you
will see him again
He’ll be at the gates to welcome us home
Wearing
that Big Ol’ Southern Grin
