I've been a biker for over 40 years, and this really touched my heart. Sherri, keep the rubber side down and your writing pen busy. God bless you.
WOW, 40 years as a biker-Very much respect to you. I am 54 and just starting out as a beginner biker, Just bought my very first Harley Davidson, my very first bike ever and going to take the motorcycle course and get my license. Looking forward to hitting the open road as a biker. God bless.
Congrats KJV on getting your first bike. Welcome to the club. Glad to see your taking a motorcycle safety course. I started riding when I was 20yrs old. Im now 72. Some advice from an old biker; Never ride faster than your experience level/ Respect the machine, know its limits/ I've never been down on the street, that's because I ride like everybody is out to get me ( there's a LOT of bad drivers out there!) / If at all possible I don't ride at night or in the rain/ On all my street machines I install a 160db air horn. It will save you, I guarantee it. And I always say a little prayer before I go anywhere. I know my guardian angel is with me, I like to thank him! So...keep the rubber side down and your knees to the breeze. Be safe KJV. God Bless.
Been hunting to find a suitable song for my uncles funeral, he wasn't that musical so its been so hard. Was a biker every day of his life and this fits just perfect. Thank you.
Ahh Im sorry for the loss of your uncle 😥 I am really touched that you would use my song for his farewell. Thank you for that. Take care my friend and stay safe.
I introduced my club to this song last year. It quicjkly got put into our playlists that we play at the clubhouse. When one of our own met his end this was played at his funeral. Such an incredible song. Thank you for making something so beautiful.
I am so honored that you played this song for your fallen brother and that you have it on your clubs play list. Your post touched my heart. Thank you so much for your support and kind words. I sure do appreciate it. 🙂 Take care my friend and stay safe!
Thank you!! :) I'm glad you enjoyed my song and I appreciate you stopping by and taking time to listen and leaving such a nice comment :) Thanks again!!
Sherri Hill if its on itunes Im buying it been playing and sharing the link to this song since hearing it to all my brother riders of iron
Of all the "biker" songs I keep coming back to this one, because to me it's the one that best catches the spirit of riding. To me it isn't about kicking ass or rebelling it's about personal freedom, about the wind in my face and the open road in front of me. Thanks Sherri.
This is so special :-) Thank you! A lot of people don't like this song because it's not about drinking and partying and being a bad ass. It's about riding, that mellow feeling you get hugging the curves on a sunny day and just going where the road takes you. The people who say this isn't a biker song, must not have had a true bike experience. It's not just about bar hopping on your punked out bike and picking up women and getting stoned. People like that use to be called Posers lol!. Thanks again Richard! I truly appreciate you listening for this moving comment. Take care :-)
Never owned leather or a Harley just rode two lane blacktops and gravel to see where it went and find a different way home
It gets to me every time I hear this song. Takes me back to a great road trip at a point in life where I took my life in my own hands. Song is truly amazing, I wil play it this month on my bike, traveling from belgium through Germany, Tjechie, Hungary, Holland.... Truly amazing spirit in this song!
Ahh, thank you soo much :-) And thank you for taking it with you on your travels, I really appreciate that. Stay safe!
One of the greatest tunes ever written. Speaks to me in so many ways an over the years has evolved with me as I travel. Awesome work
Thank you so much. I appreciate you taking time to leave such a nice comment. You made my day 🙂 It warms my heart to know when someone feels what i was trying to say with this song and I'm honored that you take it with you on your travels. Hope you have an amazing summer with lots of adventures. 😁 Stay safe my friend ✌️
Sherri, I am still listening to this song.
Thank you Anthony :-) Hope you have a wonderful New Year filled with laughter, peace, and music :-)
@@SherriHill1 Here it is 4/27/2020 and still playing your song.
Me too..
I have been riding for years and I have never heard another song that so poeticly describes what its like out on the road for some of us...
The truth about a drifter, is that we wanderer, but Always trying to find a place that we can really stay and call it home... great song man, keep on riding
+danield2657 Hey thank you so much!
Happy Birthday Dad!! Thanks for raising this modern day drifter and for teaching me the right ways to life!!
You must have a wonderful dad :-) Thank you for listening to my song. Safe travels and stay free!
@@SherriHill1 Yes for sure! Best dad a son could ever want! He rode his whole life and made his own path. Retired his bike and recovering from hip surgery. Toughest man I know!
Thanks for the kind words and love!😁
Здесь все шикарно, и текст, и музыка, и голос! Благодарю Вас за этот шедевр.
🥰
I think this the most wonderful biker song that I have ever heard it describes so many of us, out there rolling around on the highways of this country, I recently lost a bro' to cancer that every time I hear this song brings him to mind, Jerry Bailey. He had been my bro' for almost 20 yrs losing him was very hard on many of us, but hearing your song he rides through my mind, he may be gone in body but he lives on in me, and songs like yours keeps him alive every time it's played every where it's played, just wish he had lived to hear it I know he would have loved it as much as I do. keep writing songs like this and you will be a legend to bro's like you write about, shiny side up grease side down and knees to the breeze!!!!
Darrell, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of you dear friend Jerry. I'm really touched to know my song brings you some peace. Thank you for posting such a beautiful comment and for listening to my song. Keep Jerry in your heart and he will live on. Take care of yourself and stay safe!
I have to say this song caused me to do something I rarely ever do. I actually went and purchased this song so I could have it on me wherever I go.
I am so honored that you would buy my song and can't thank you enough :-) And you saying you want to take it with you where you go means the world to me. I appreciate your support and kind words. Take care and stay safe!
I’m not a biker, but this song and the singer has Stuck in my mind for so long,as soon as the song is over I want to hear it Again ❤️👍👍
Thank you Jessie :-) that is so sweet. I appreciate your support.
thank you.i ride everyday and this song is homage to brothers and sister who ride eternally. ride free.......
Love ya kid......just an old man's wish. But best song I have ever listened to. Kisses and hugs, and wishes for your success.
Over 700 K miles and 60 years roaming this USA solo on different bikes. But when could, was always the roads less traveled. When I retired , it was always the back roads.
Love this 🙂 I bet you saw a lot of beautiful scenery that you don't get from the highway. Thank you so much for listening and taking the time to share your story. I appreciate it very much. Take care
Brilliant song----AWESOME
I am still playing this tune. I still love it as I did when I first heard it when it first cam out.
Ahh, thank you so much Anthony :-) I appreciate you listening and taking time to post such a nice comment. Wishing you and yours a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year Take care
Absolutely awesome!!!!!
Thanx Sherri for this! Beautiful.
Hey everyone lets do all we can to get behind Sherri's work and help her out to get this awesome song out to the world. She is a true talent and deserves the success. Send it to all your friends and anyone who rides. thank you!!
Ahh I am so touched by this! Thank you Gord for your support. Your the best!
Awesome song I listen to this during the rainy days that are to bad to ride it and it feels like I'm in on the bike on an awesome road and my daughter listens to this before bed and it's her lullaby
Ahh John, Thank you so much! That touched my heart and made me smile. That is so sweet to know your daughter uses it as her lullaby :-) I appreciate that more than you will ever know! Tell her "thank you" from me. You all take care and stay safe on the road and thanks again!

this is not only a song, it's an anthem of my life ❤️
Thank you Pratik, If you live this life style you are a lucky man :-) Only a few have the courage to do so :-)
OH MY GOD!!! this song gave me chills. VERY impressive!!!
Laid up with a broken ankle, listening to music like this has to hold me til I can ride. again, thanks Sherri.
I hate to hear that Richard. Hope your back in the wind again soon!!! Thank you for listening!!! I appreciate you!!! Take care!!!
Thank you in more ways than you could ever know.
There is NO one on earth that can sing this song like this man
Thank you Jessie. This was just a demo that I had done to pitch to artist in hopes of getting it professionally recorded some day. Jimmy Bryant, the guy singing it, is actually a performer in Pigeon Forge TN. and never been on a motorcycle in his life :-) but a great guy and did an awesome job. My hope is that someone that knows this way of life will get a hold of it and make it sound like it does in my head lol!
Watched the video and felt like it was my thoughts put into lyrics. Then I read the comments, it was amazing to learn there are others like me. Great song thanks for sharing. Iowa,usa
Just found this... no words can describe how it touched, not just my heart, but my very soul. Thank you Sherri... listened to it 3 times in a row. Live Free Ride Free...
Outstanding love it......
this is absolutely soul stirring, but also reminds me of the high price of this freedom... thanks for taking the time to share with the world
By far the best biker song out there, way to go Sherri!!!!!!
Excellent song, thank you
Why don't I hear this song 5 times a day on every music station? Oh my god! Sherri Hill?
Maybe after Raven Cain gets finished with it, it will happen lol! He is due to have it finished soon. Thank you so much Jan for your support :-)
I love this!! I don't ride, but I grew up in the lifestyle and on the road, so I can relate. My mom and dad run a bike shop and used to drag race a top fuel Harley knucklehead. It's in my blood!
Thank you Raven! Wow that's amazing! Bet those were exciting times :-)
They sure were! Thank you for the song!
This has to rank up there with the best of the best biker songs,,,,,,,,thanks
Cant stop listening to this!! Love it!!!
Thank you for listening and sharing :)
Awsome tune. I'm gonna listen to it when I ride tomorrow. This should have made the top 10.
Just stumbled onto this awesome song not too long ago and I can't stop listening to this. It's just such an amazing song that tells a different story in my head each time I listen to it.

Hearing your comment and knowing you felt what I was trying to say is worth more than gold to me. Thank you again!! You made my day! Take care and stay safe!
Songs speak to my soul been a drifter for a few years since I left home at 18 I only stay in a town to make money and network I prefer my ol Indian Scout on the ol back roads

Jimmy Bryant - your voice makes this song resonate with the wild echos of the soul. What an incredible talent that you are and an exotic voice of the unknown. Ride Harder Dude.
Jimmy Bryant is a friend of my sister. They both are entertainers in Knoxville TN where I'm from. He did this demo for me. :-) This song is getting ready to be professionally recorded by Raven Cain. He has on Atlantic Records and on the VAN WARP tour this summer. He is putting it on his next album. I'm pretty excited about it. :-)
Dennis, your the best! Thank you!!
Thanx Sherri Hill. The guy that sang this nailed it good.
I like it ! I love it ! I want some more of it ! yes thanks love your song .have a good one
Congrats Sherri you captured the real spirit of a true biker with your song. Hope you share the same feeling and happiness described in these lyrics in your own life. Better being a lonesome rider than belonging to the wrong bunch of buddies.
Thank you Juan. I appreciate the kind comment and for taking time to listen to my song. Being alone is grossly underated. lol! Sometimes you are your own best company 🙂 Stay safe and free!
Thank You for bringing us this.. "MASTER'PIECE"
You are much too kind :-) Thank you so much. I appreciate your vote of confidence :-)
Just got back from two weeks roadtrip, riding from LA through AZ and Route 66, ending up in Vegas. This song was our "morningsong" before heading out on the roads. Thank you for the song.
WOW! What a gorgeous trip that must have been! Thank you for taking my song (and me in a way 🙂) with you. I am more that honored that you chose my song to start your day. I sure appreciate your support! Glad you had a safe trip. Take care and keep in the wind!!
I'm more than honored that you liked it enough to add to your playlist!! Thank you!!
I have had this song on my playlist for quite some time...........Love it. I have rode my bike in every state in this country but about six and I'll get those before I'm done. I have lived life on both sides of the fence shall we say and this song never ceases to inspire me to get out and find that next road or that next adventure. So thank you for this song.
Jeff I can't thank you enough for this comment. That means the world to me to know you are inspired by my song :-) I'm not able to ride any more but you taking my song with you is like you are taking a piece of my soul on your adventures. Stay safe and free my friend and thanks again!
Great Song! Going to share it with all my friends!
What a brilliant song , lyrics are fantastic and the voice couldnt be anyone elses . This could be the best biker movie soundtrack ever
ABSOLOUTELY FANTASTIC SO GLAD I CAME ACROSS THIS SONG

@@SherriHill1 Sent this song to my biker friends and wow what a response, they love it , still cant believe this track has never been included in a movie . Im from England and would love to ride on american roads listening to this . This song is a masterpiece ... Thanks for your reply , youve got a massive fan here ...
@@cooperman38 thank you for sharing it :-) that means a lot to me! I've always wanted to come to England :-) maybe some day you will make it here or I will make it there and we can go have a beer lol! It did ALMOST make it to Sons of Anarchy but the show was canceled before it made it through the steps but I can say it got in the door lol! I've never really tried any thing else but your vote of confidence made my day :-) if you want a copy of the mp3 I'd be glad to send it to you :-)
@@SherriHill1 Hi Sherri apologies for the 3 YEAR LATE REPLY , dont know what happened must have had a moment . But my dream of visiting America is gonna come true next March as my friend and I are going Daytona bike week . This song of yours should have no doubt been the theme to Sons of Anarchy, youve been robbed . Fantastic lyrics depicting the life of any biker . THank you once again Sherri , im sure you are doing well at whatever your up to x
Amazing Bike Song!!!

Thank you so much ! I hope you do more riding than fighting lol! I greatly appreciate you listening and taking the time to comment. Have a great and safe weekend!
haha, I didn't mean like fist fighting. I'm an active duty Sailor (Master at Arms). Kind of a bad time for us with the current societal/ world climate.
That's even more reason why I hope you are doing more riding than fighting :-) Thank you so much for your service so that we can ride the back roads free. I would be honored if you let me send you a copy of this song and you can share it . You can send me your email address at tycia164@gmail.com Stay safe!

Ahh, thank you soo much! Glad it fit :-) Have a great summer!
Not to worry, when you have something that catches your heart and mind, it is always good to share with brothers and sisters. My thanks for an awesome tune and wild lyrics.
This has to be my *FAVORITE* song of all times, including all of the oldies but *goodies*. To listen to this song brings out all of the rain, fog, and cold weather in riding, plus all the sunshine, lite winds and just going down the road. From riding in the sleet in the Pa. mountains to the nice mountain sunset runs. From the time I first went on a mini-bike at age 8 to now, just going where I want to go and being in the wind. You catched it all in this song Sherri,,,,,. LOVE IT....
Trash Trash!!!! Thanks for this :-) Glad y'all had a good run even though the weather sucked lol!
This song takes me to what iam / lovely song and i have shared this song to all my bike riders friends for this valentine days / i love them and you to Sherri Hill.
