Easy Rider (Let the Wind Pay the Way) Lyrics

Lyric discussion by GatoCat 

Cover art for Easy Rider (Let the Wind Pay the Way) lyrics by Iron Butterfly

What idiot put the line "Needs a goodbye kiss in the morning, mist"? Good grief! Think before you post, man. "Ball and chain around their feet" may be right, but I've always heard it as, "Marchin' around the beat". Having just spoken about people having to work until the weekend, the lyrics then contrast Easy Rider with: "He's off every day" -- not "Freedom every day", as misquoted above. And... "Pegs of people"? What? Try this:

See the people line the street Marching around the beat Waiting for their weekend treat But Easy Rider's got 'em all beat, cuz He's a rider, he's a glider He's off every day Easy rider, he's a glider Ride, tell the wind to pay the way

@GatoCat "Needs a goodbye kiss in the morning, mist" is actually, Just a goodbye kiss in the morning, miss
