When You Went Out Riding

Kimberly Tenold 2008 (Missouri)



I don't know if you could tell
Every time you went out riding, I was worried as hell
What if your helmet didn't protect you and you fell
What if your knee hit the ground
And you'd never be able to propose to me traditionally
What if your life was the liability
A life without you, just put me out of my misery
It's always a possibility that you could love those two tires more than me
All of your fancy safety gear never took away my fear
I was praying Heaven to forbid your fun ever end in tragedy
