That long gray beard hung down to his chest Ol' long hair was always a mess And the laugh on that man, I'll never forget You could hear him from a mile away Loved his Pabst Blue Ribbon and his cigarettes He'd burn one down, light 'er up again I still see that grin and that ol' H.D He'd roll it like he stole the thing You know, I talked to him yesterday I asked him [Chorus] How's that steel horse ride on the streets of gold? Does the promised land have any ol' back roads? Ain't a doubt you've done a burnout on a cloud Knowin' you, you probably laid her down Have you revved it up while the angels sang? Did God get on ya, did He take your wings? You better have 'em back 'fore I get in 'Cause brother, we're gonna ride again Alright They say blood makes you related But loyalty makes you kin So when I called that man my brother Well, I meant what I said 'Cause we were thick as thieves and we were hell on wheels I can't begin to tell ya how it feels But I speak for us all, man it hurts like hell We miss your smilin' face We'll saddle up again one day Until then [Chorus] How's that steel horse ride on the streets of gold? Does the promised land have any ol' back roads? Ain't a doubt you've done a burnout on a cloud Knowin' you, you probably laid her down Have you revved it up while the angels sang? Did God get on ya, did He take your wings? You better have 'em back 'fore I get in 'Cause brother, we're gonna ride again Man, you're more than a memory, more than a friend Man, you'll always be family, we'll never forget Gonna see you again someday Hell yeah, we're gonna rock that house When we get through the gates How's that steel horse ride on the streets of gold? Does the promised land have any ol' back roads? Ain't a doubt you've done a burnout on a cloud Knowin' you, you probably laid her down Have you revved it up while the angels sang? Did God get on ya, did He take your wings? You better get 'em back 'fore I get in 'Cause brother, we're gonna ride again We're gonna ride again We miss ya, brother
