Ballad of the Cascade 1200
Composed on the road from Dry Falls to Bridgeport

To the Tune of Willin'
With thanks (or apologies) to the late great Lowell George

I've been blown by the wind, broiled by the heat
Had my butt worn out, but I'm still on my seat
And I'm still willin'

Out on the road late at night, seen the full moon shining
Like a 6 volt head light,
downhill with a tailwind

And I've been from Packwood to Okanogan,
Yakima to Darington
I've ridden every kind of road that's ever been laid
Carryin' our mudflaps so we won't get sprayed
And if you give me snacks, drinks, and ice
And some chicken and rice
And I'll be willin' to keep rollin'

I've been burnt by the sun, chilled by the cold
I'm tired and sweaty, don't you know
And I'm still willin'

Struggled with broken spokes at Texico
They're signin' my card every time I go to Texico
And I'm still...

And I've been from Packwood to Okanogan,
Yakima to Darington
I've ridden every kind of road that's ever been laid
Carryin' our mudflaps so we won't get sprayed
And if you give me snacks, drinks, and ice
And some chicken and rice
And I'll be willin' to keep rollin'
