You dont know me

* YOU DON"T KNOW ME

 

 

 

Some think bikers are mean

Some dressed in leathers and others in jeans

You don't like our patches or the clothes that we wear

You hate our bandannas and you hate our long hair

You don't like our scooters and our loud noisy pipes

You think we're not loyal to the stars and stripes

You don't like our patches that are worn on our vests

You think we're so different from all the rest

But the truth is, Mister, we're kind of alike

You drive a car and I ride a bike

You have no tattoos painted on your arm

But we fought side by side over in Nam

So the next time your children are running around

Enjoying their freedom and the fun that they've found

Remember us bikers and all that we do

We feed our lost veterans, we're Red, white and blue !

We bring toys for tots and toys for a smile

By riding our bikes for miles and miles

You see, us bikers have never forgot

Our homeless veterans and our homeless tots

We are loyal to our clubs and true to our bro's

We will always wear black from our heads to our toes

Society once said that long hair was for fags

But you'll never see a biker burning a flag

Now the tattoos and leather you don't understand

Stands for free independence that us bikers demand

Our long hair and patches and bikes with loud pipes

is a tribute to our freedom, the Stars and Stripes

So before you make up your mind on just what I might be

Take a look in the mirror and what do you see?

The man that you see that is staring right back

Is not too much different from that biker in black.

Good one. I've had to deal with a bad Rap here in my hometown ever since my stint with Outlaw Club back in 70s. I wasn't living here then but came home to visit wearing Colors and that is all it took. The stories were invented and I'm still in that shadow. Even my 20 years in uniform with a badge didn't stop it. I was only a Correctional Officer but my badge was spotless. Didn't make a difference. I've never claimed to be a "Biker" but some of the stories around here are plain nuts. Just gotta keep on keeping on. OK I'll quit whining.
