The Ballad of Evel Knievel by The Road Vikings Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On a two-wheel flyer, risking everything
V-twin take him higher
And the danger it will bring
Tempting fate, time and time again
Bones break and crumble
Grim Reaper in the wind
Grim Reaper

[Pre-Chorus]
One man of his word
Not afraid to lose it all
A single shot of whiskey – ready to take a fall
One American, with honor with pride
And a burning desire to fly fuckin’ high

[Chorus]
Evel Knievel – riding through the storm
Evel Knievel – in hell you were born
Evel Knievel – death he did defy
Evel Knievel – legend in heaven, legend in hell
[Verse 2]
The greatest man to ever set foot on two wheels
Possibly, the greatest man to ever live
A man that brought the world together
Not through song or dance
Not with the act of love
Not through violence or tyranny - No
Just one man, two wheels
Two wheels strapped to a Harley v-twin

Feel the engine roar

[Chorus]
Evel Knievel – riding through the storm
Evel Knievel – in hell you were born
Evel Knievel – death he did defy
Evel Knievel – legend in heaven, legend in hell
