OK my brain must still be in “traveling” mode from our recent Epic Trip, because I keep thinking of more and more songs for this theme. I’ll try to make this one my last post for the week.

I picked the song for obvious reasons but my personal one is that James and I got to take an amazing Road Trip a while back on his Harley Ultra Classic, complete with a trailer so we could haul camping equipment. We rode down the West Coast from Seattle to Pacific Grove, California, stopping to camp in the Redwoods! This was our trip song!!

Enjoy the video! (If you are of a certain age, you won’t be able to stop yourself!)

Lyrics

Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin’ with the wind
And the feelin’ that I’m under
Yeah Darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Thought a blog might help me develop better writing habits so I could finally finish my book, 16 years in the writing, but so far it's mostly photos and FUN!

  1. Yesss! Watching these guys on their motor bikes brings back memories of (bi)cycling down highway 1 between Santa Cruz and Big Sur in the early seventies when there was hardly any traffic. We had the road to ourselves for what seemed like long stretches at a time. Same with driving cross country along the southern route. And now these roads seem like an endless stream of traffic.
    Great music, memories of wonderful, carefree times!

    1. What a delightful response! And that stretch of road on a bike must have been great!! I drove it often as I lived in Los Gatos, had friends in school at UCSC, and I went to Big Sur many times. Thanks for your comment.

  2. This is SO perfect! Thanks so much for sharing such a great song and such great memories. I’ve never really felt the desire to ride a motorcycle, but I totally understand the pull. 🙂
