Dream Machine

Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young

Live to ride,

ride my dream machine

Good conditions

sometime are extreme

Running from the daily grind

He was, he was a friend of mine

Gonna take a long, long time

But the stain will fade away

Running from the daily grind

He was, he was a friend of mine.



Live to ride,

ride in the lonesome wind

Cross the line,

you can't come back again

Never let a dream machine

Gather dust in your garage

Gonna take a long, long time

But the stain will fade away

Running from the daily grind

He was, he was a friend of mine.



Gonna take a long, long time

But the stain will fade away

Running from the daily grind

He was, he was a friend of mine.



Live to ride,

ride my dream machine.
