Riding a Bike on a Warm Summer’s Night
Music and Lyrics  by M.K. Bengtson


(G) Riding a bike on a (C) warm summer’s night
(G) Her lover is gone,(D) she’s not feeling right                                            
Sue (G) left her today,(C) she hadn’t a clue
(G) Riding a bike is (D) all she can do

(C) Air rushing by (D) tangling her hair
The (G) faster she goes, the (D) less that she cares
(C) Knowing that she has (D) been replaced
She (G) rides along  (D) tears cool her face

(C) Yellow street lamps, (D) show her the way
(G) Past houses with kids, (D) happy at play
(C) Memories of Sue, (D) ravage her thoughts
(G) Anguish and grief (D) a future lost

(G) Riding a bike on a (C) warm summer’s night
(G) Her lover has gone and (D) shattered her life                                         
(G) Pedaling away (C) feeling so blue
(G ) Riding a bike is (D) all she can do

(Am) Curve ahead, the (Em) turn is so sharp
A (G) lover’s last words  (D ) piercing her heart
(Am) Sadness and pain, tear (Em) through her mind 
She (G) moves on, to (D) leave Sue behind  

(C) Bobbing and swaying, (D) rolling along,
(G) Tires singing their (D) rhythmical song
(C) Honeysuckle blooms (D) lining the way,
(G) Filing the air with their (D) floral bouquet

(G) Riding a bike on a (C) warm summer’s night
(G) Her lover is gone, (D) nowhere in sight                                            
(G) Pedaling away (C) feeling so blue
(G) Riding a bike is (D) all she can do

(C) Heat of the day (D) melting away 
(G) Miles of solitude have (D) had their way
(C) Her front door (D) beckons her on
(G) Heading home in the (D) light of the dawn
 
(G ) And she knows she’ll (C) carry on
(G) And she knows it (C) won’t be long
(G) And she knows she (C) will be strong
(C) Will be strong,(G) again
