its not too serious so dont take it that way
escape to Buxton
The meeting place was random the anticipation ran high
your eager to impress that's no word of a lie
you set eyes on each other your heart skips a beat
5 minutes later your strapped in your seat.
the key's in you turn it, not a groan or a click
you get out and fix it you aint no chick
a fettle a swear and a grunt and a groan
no need for the AA you can stay off that phone!
The phone firmly stowed and the keys set to go
she fires up instantly i can feel that inner glow
out of the car park is it left or is it right
who gives a monkeys we can drive all night
Out of the gates leave your troubles behind
this is the sort of ride i had in mind
we are stopping and starting the traffic’s a mess
where are we going? i couldn’t care less
the wind in your hair and the suns rays on your face
come on Sunday drivers lets up the pace
With traffic lights and stop signs all there for a reason
its not what im after i needed more freedom
Im sure macclesfield has nice parts but its not my cup ot tea
lets head to Buxton on the A573
the open road awaits, many a challenging curve
put trust in your machinery man don’t loose your nerve
the miles they fly by the air it smells sweeter
the fuel consumption in this things measured in gallons per meter
the company's fab what more can i say
what a great way to spend your Sunday
The hills are a challenge at some points quite steep
this day ranks quite highly in the memories i keep
we pull in for a cuppa and something to nibble
the conversation’s good broken only by the odd giggle
Hot chocolate, a scone with plenty of cream
i think we made quite a groovy team
its time for a wee and get strapped back in
a quick flick of the key and she's burbling again
Its back on the road, Buxton's not far a way
you feel for the biker who has ruined his day
he looks kind of lifeless but what can you do
who knows in the end he may have ruined his families day too
its off down the hill now with Buxton in sight
oh no we need to get back the time is tight
that garage is open its time for some fuel
then back up the hill in the shadows and cool
we break out the shadows and into the light
i really do hope that poor biker's alright
we rounded the corner and saw the blue light
i bet his little spill has given his mates a fright
its back down the hill to congestion and grime
but haven’t we just had such a wonderful time
the drug that i needed i got by big fix
why cant the low life today do this stuff for kicks
well back to the car park where we randomly met
how much better can today get?
we went for a wonder and sat in the sun
neither of us wanting tomorrow to come
then came the time when we had to get home
we shifted ourselves with a puff and a moan
we said our goodbyes and went our own ways
don’t you just love these kind of days
my mind was a buzz and the adrenaline high
now it was time to let this beast fly
off down the road with it going at full throttle
i questioned myself......have i got the bottle
off down the M6 with the wind in my face
don’t you just love life at this pace
i got home, the sun almost gone
you cant have more fun with all your clothes on
why are those days always so short?
we had such a giggle, a laugh and a snort
its back to work now with the dirt and the grime
i really cant wait until next time
