This song is inspired by my days on a motorcycle...yes, it was a black motorcycle! What other color for a motorcycle is there? I always kind of felt that the reaper was riding behind me, always trying to catch me in my race to stay alive...in the early days of my riding career I was confident and cocky...after a few close calls though, I became more anxious about my chances of getting home alive...the song says it all...with the hard rock force of sledgehammer to the soul.
