That's Why I Ride - Lyrics - Wayne Hancock
Hancock began writing songs at the age of 12, and at 18 won a talent contest called the "Wrangler County Showdown." Immediately after the contest, he was shipped to recruit training and served four years with the United States Marine Corps. In 1994 he performed in the musical Chippy. Hancock released his debut album in 1995, and has continued to tour and record albums since then. He lives in Austin, Texas.

Got no change in my jeans
I'm runnin' low on all my hopes and dreams
But I got a melody stashed deep in my heart
And it's been driving me since the very start
Playing all night living life without care
Seeing all the different towns and folks everywhere
Frozen starlight glitters in a deep velvet sky
Yeah brother that's why I ride
Way out yonder, that's where I'm longing to be
Maybe somewhere around interstate 40, lady luck waits for me
Tonight I sleep with a dreamy heart
Maybe tomorrow I'll get a new start
I can here the road singing as we pass though the night
Yeah brother that's why I ride
There's thin clouds dancing around the moon
The radio's knockin out a swingin' tune
Early mornin' driving with an angel close by my side
