Ride On Brother (Tribute to Dal Bowie Bowman)

Ride on, Brother (Tribute to Dal “Bowie” Bowman)

[Verse 1]
The night is cold, the engines roar,
I still see your shadow at the door.
Leather and steel, your voice in the wind,
A brother’s bond that will never end.

You taught us strength, you led with fire,
Your spirit’s a flame that won’t expire.
Every mile, every road we take,
Is a promise that will never break.

[Chorus]
Ride on, brother, ride through the storm,
Your name’s in the thunder, your heart still warm.
Your chair may be empty, but you lead the way,
At the head of the pack, you’ll forever stay.

[Verse 2]
Under the stars, I hear your laugh,
The open road is our second half.
No crown, no throne, but a king you were,
A rebel soul with a heart so pure.

Your legacy burns in the blacktop flame,
We’ll carry your honor, we’ll scream your name.
This brotherhood’s more than blood and bone,
It’s a fire that rides, it’s carved in stone.

[Chorus]
Ride on, brother, ride through the storm,
Your name’s in the thunder, your heart still warm.
Your chair may be empty, but you lead the way,
At the head of the pack, you’ll forever stay.

[Bridge] (soft – then rising)
And when the road calls me home,
I’ll find you where wild winds roam.
Side by side, like we used to ride,
Two souls together, no more goodbye.

[Chorus – Final] (full power)
Ride on, brother, ride through the storm,
Your name’s in the thunder, your heart still warm.
We’ll ride forever, no turning back,
Your spirit’s the leader of this brotherhood pack.

[Outro – spoken/whispered]
Bowie…
You’re not gone.
You’re just riding ahead.
