The day began with a rainbow in the sand
As I cycled into Kerry
Cattle grazing on a steep hillside

Looked well fed, well balanced
Close to the edge


Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles

Pedal on

I take a break, I close my eyes

And I'm happy as the dolphin
In a quiet spot talking to myself
Talking about the rain

Talking about the rain
All this rain


Pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on


You see whenever I'm alone
I tend to brood

But when I'm out on my bike
It's a different mood
I leave my brain at home

Get up on the sattle
No hanging around
I don't diddle-daddle


I work my legs
I pump my thights

Take in the scenery passing me by
The Kerry mountains or the Wicklow hills
The antidote to my emotional ills

A motion built upon human toil
Nuclear free needs no oil
But it makes me hot, makes me hard

I never thought I could have come this far
Through miles of mountains, valleys, streams
This is the right stuff filling my dreams

So come on, get up on your bike
Ah go on, get up on your bike


Pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on


Finally
With my face to that bitter wind

I bombed it into Killarney
Skin raw like a sushi dinner
And an appetite

That would eat the hind leg of the lamb of God
Even though you know
I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing

Then settle down for a quiet night
Think about what I've seen and done
And wonder


There's a reason for this
Now is the time

To speak of the problem troubling my mind
Sick of the traffic choking our towns
Freaking me out, bringing me down

Knock down houses, build more lanes
Once was a problem, now it's insane
My solution it's one that I like

It's Muddy
The Acoustic Motorbike
So come on, get up on your bike

Ah go on, get up on your bike

Pedal on

Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on

Ah go on
Ah go on

Get up on your bike
Get up on your bike
