I got a bicycle,
I got it for my birthday
It takes me everywhere I want to go
It's shiny and silver with a white whicker basket
I can't wait to show it off to all my friends
When I get home from school I get on my bicycle,
I ride it in circles and never get tired
When I wake in the morning it's the first thing I think of
And the last thing I see when I turn out the light
CHORUS:
'Cause I feel happy
When the wind's at my back and
I'm going as fast as I can
I feel so alive
I can't feel sad when
The wind's at my back and I'm going so fast
When the only thing I can feel
Is the spin of my bicycle wheels
I ride my bicycle in all kinds of whether
Don't matter the day or what season I'm in
I don't mind the snow and I love it when the rain brings
The promise of puddles and getting soaked to the skin
But the best times of all are the long summer evenings
When the air smells like sugar, butter, and grass
I race past the houses, the forests, and the meadows
I wish that this moment could last for-ever
'Cause I feel happy
When the wind's at my back and
I'm going as fast as I can
I feel so alive
I can't feel sad when
The wind's at my back and I'm going so fast
When the only thing I can feel
Is the spin of my bicycle wheels
I was 16 years old when I outgrew my biycle
The paint had worn off and the basket was frayed
It sold at a yardsale for less than a dollar,
I had to turn from the window when they took it away
Now it's many years later and I'm driving down the highway
When a flash of bright silver catches my eye
I see a girl on a bike with a white whicker basket,
I feel that old thrill start to rise in-side
'Cause I feel happy
When the wind's at my back
And I'm going as fast as I can
I feel so alive
I can't feel sad when
The wind's at my back and I'm going so fast
When the only thing I can feel
Is the spin of my bicycle wheels
I feel happy when the winds at my back and I'm going so fast
The only thing I can feel is the spin of my bicycle wheels
Bicycle wheels
My bicycle wheels
