Cover art for Riding to New York lyrics by Passenger

This song is a story of mike rosenberg himself, he was craving a cigarette when he was on tour in minnesota and he walked over the road to a gas station at early hours of the morning to get cigarettes, he walked past a long grey haired man ' with eyes that stared' and as he passed this man sat on his motorcycle having a cigarette he said to mike " this is the best cigarette i've ever had" and they got talking and he it turned out the man had a cancer and didn't have long to live and he was riding to new york to see his family on his motorcylce one last time... Before he passed on
