Voor de liefhebbers van motoren en muziek, even een lekkere “motorcycle song” van de Doobie brothers. Pat Simmons is een enthousiaste motorrijder. Met dank aan onze motorreiziger en schrijver Hans den Ouden voor de tip.

“Cannonball“

It’s cold outside and I know it’s time
Pack up my heart it’s a long hard ride
There’s a wind that’s blowin’ such a lonely prayer
Gotta keep goin’ now I’m halfway there

Faces in the windows of the cars drivin’ fast
Are holding onto memories and the moments flying past
I got ten more miles, and I’m there at last

I’m a steel horse runnin’ yeah my world keeps turnin’
I’ll follow this road where my heart’s still yearnin’
Still got the fire, and the flame keeps burnin’
I’m a cannonball shootin’ down the line
Soul searchin’, woah oh
I’m a cannonball

Well I stopped all alone at the top of the hill
I looked across the valley at the world so still
All the friends I’ve been missin’ and the ones I love
They shine like the diamonds from the sky above

Faces in the windows of the cars drivin’ fast
Are holding onto memories and the moments flying past
I got ten more miles, and I’m there at last

I’m a steel horse runnin’ yeah my world keeps turnin’
I’ll follow this road where my heart’s still yearnin’
Still got the fire, and the flame keeps burnin’
I’m a cannonball shootin’ down the line
Soul searchin’, woah oh
I’m a cannonball
Soul searchin’

Well it hurts inside, but I know I’m fine
Time to pick up the pieces, life’s a long hard ride
There’s a wind that’s blowin’ such a lonely prayer
I gotta keep goin’ now I’m almost there

I’m a steel horse runnin’ yeah my world keeps turnin’
I’ll follow this road where my heart’s still yearnin’
Still got the fire, and the flame keeps burnin’
I’m a cannonball shootin’ down the line
Soul searchin’, woah oh
I’m a cannonball
Soul searchin’, woah oh
I’m a cannonball….
