Ridin' Against The Wind is a bonus track added on just for fun - it is, perhaps predictably, about riding a bike, rather than fantasizing about an exquisite female. But oh well.

lyrics

My blood’s a-pumpin’ and my face is a-flushin’
My feet are pedallin’ and the ground is rushin’ by
And the clouds are flyin’ and the breeze is risin’
I’m all alone

Because I’m ridin’ against the wind
I have to push, push, push my legs till they break
Because I’m ridin’ against the wind
I have to push, push, push till my whole body aches
Because I’m ridin’ against the wind
But I know where I’m going:
I’m cyclin’ to paradise

There’s no direction I can turn for shelter
Just keep on slidin’ down this helter skelter, yeah
And the clouds are flyin’ and the breeze is risin’
I’m all alone and it ain’t surprisin’

Chorus x 2
