Guitar plays Figure 8 (3 times)

Of all the truth and lies

And stor-ies of rid-ers in the sky

On-ly the brav-est try

Where eagles and angels dare to fly

No Picture zoe Wanna Be	#1 by zoe cherrie at Nov 15, 1993 at 3:41 AM EST
	this song was the first song i listened to when i rode a harley for the first time by myself, had the cd player in the pocket of my jeans, and the headphones in my ear. rode my uncles bike all around chicago, listening to thiss ong, put it on repeat and rode all night

No Picture Maarten Average	#2 by Maarten Wuyts at Mar 6, 1998 at 11:46 PM EST
	Bret Michaels was obviously into motorcycle riding around this time. when you read the lyrics, you can practically feel the wind blowing your back as you ride by on your Harley. that's pretty good for me considering i've never ridden a motorcycle in my life. Bret sings great on here, you can tell his singing matured. This was off the Flesh and Blood album, which showed that Poison could make a great transition into the 90s.

	I first heard this song on Cinderella and Poison's 20 aniversary tour. I'm surprised more people havn't commented on such a great song.
