at Katy Trail State Park
(Sung to the tune of "The Battle of New Orleans")
By Pat (Rider #2 from
Wisconsin)
In 2001 we hopped upon a trail
A mighty pretty route, it used to be a
rail
We took along some courage and a smiley attitude
Took along some
water and a little bit of food
CHORUS
We pedaled our bikes and the trail kept a comin'
Twice as many
aches as there was a day ago
We pedaled our bikes and the river kept a
runnin'
Down the Katy Trail to St. Charles town we go
We set up Monday morning and the sun was shinin' bright
Feelin stiff and
sore from a sorta restless night
Down to the trail head 300 bikers flew
It
was sorta crowded but we finally pedaled through
CHORUS
We got up Wednesday morning and the rain was pourin' down
Lots of smiley
faces were turnin' to a frown
But we dug deep down inside our souls and
trudged through rain and goo
And before we even knew it the sun was shinin'
new.
CHORUS
We got up Thursday mornin' and our butts were feelin' sore
The rain was
still a pourin' we were soaked down to the core
But the new friends we were
makin' kept our spirits goin' strong
And suddenly the ridin' day just didn't
seem so long
CHORUS
We got up Friday mornin' with a sad spot in our hearts,
We knew that this
would be the day that we would have to part
New friendships would be
splittin' up by towns too far away
But the memories we made this week with us
will always stay
CHORUS
