Studios, Deer Park, NY Special thanks to BMG Chrysalis and John Martin Sommers for their kind permission to use the melody of “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” Biking for me is a metaphor for life itself – it’s all about the journey -- a theme that permeates my music. There is a familiar saying among bikers: “If I have to explain it, you wouldn’t understand.” The feeling you get when you are on two wheels is not readily expressed in words. It is my sincere hope that my songs begin to touch on the emotions that bikers experience when they ride. MAUREEN GRIFFIN I came into the biker world rather late in life (at the age of 52) when I met a very handsome man named Curtis Damone, who happened to ride a motorcycle. To me, anyone who rode a motorcycle was crazy. I never dreamed of getting on the back of one, no less riding one of my own all around the country. To a large extent, I still maintain my original viewpoint of bikers; I’ve simply joined their ranks and married the man who taught me how to ride. PUT ME ON MY MOTORCYCLE 02.
