SHOVEL HEAD

In memory of my cousin Mike, nicknamed Shovel Head, because of the Harley Davidson Shovel Head motorcycle he drove.

Lyrics

I can feel the wind blow
Lean into that winding road
Setting Sun against my skin
Shift into that high gear
Get the hell on out of here
Another ride, is about to begin

It’s been a long life in a short time
Filled with pleasure and pain
Shovel Head is what they call me
But Michael is my name

Open throttle is what I live for
Sprocket spins beneath my seat
If you think you’re something special
I’ll be the one to beat

You wont need no map to find me
I’ll be riding toward the front
Just a flash of sunlight glistening
Or a strange and subtle bump

I'm enjoying discovering your non-banjo stuff. Production is getting really good. Clean, nice sound image... something that still eludes me.
