Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He rides a road that don't have no end
An open highway without any bends
Tramp and his stallion, alone in a dream
Proud in his colours as the chromium gleams
[Verse 2]
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life
[Verse 3]
He lives his life, he's living it fast
Don't try to hide when the dice have been cast
He rides the whirlwind that cuts to the bone
Loaded forever, ferociously stoned
[Verse 4]
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life
[Verse 5]
One day, one day they'll go for the sun
Together they'll fly on the eternal run
Wasted forever on speed, bikes and booze
Yeah, us and the brothers, said we're all born to lose
[Verse 6]
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life
[Verse 7]
Iron Horse his life
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life
