VERSE 1
Head-ed west-ward out of Charles-ton just the high-way on my mind,
The scene a-head re-mind-ed me of names I'd left be-hind,
Com-ing round a cor-ner, when as far you could see,
Was a line of Har-ley Da-vid-sons all head-ing for D. C.
CHORUS
Ev-'ry cor-ner of the Nat-ion hears the Rol-ling Thun-der call,
For our friends who could-n't be here, for the ones who gave it all.
So they can-not be for-got-ten, half a mil-lion eng-ines roar,
It's a hol-i-day for mem-'ries, out on U S six-ty four.
VERSE 2
A song by "Cree-dence" crac-kled on the Che-vy's rad-i-o
That brot-her-hood rode on-ward, from Des Moine and Ko-ko-mo
Ev'ry year they get to-ge-ther, join-ing up a-long the way,
Roll-ing Thun-der to our he-roes and the pre-cious price they pay
VERSE 3
Re-mem-ber-ing my bud-dy, as I drove a-long their route,
I pic-tured him the way he looked, the day that he shipped out.
Couldn't see the sold-ier in his jeans and leather vest,
But he saved his u-nit when he took a bul-let in his chest.
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
That boy was one of many, as they come to ev-'ry war,
To hon-or them and cher-ish all that they were fight-ing for.
Stand up for Rol-ling Thun-der and sal-ute as they de-part,
Like the life-blood of our country on it's jour-ney to the heart.
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
