Yeah I wanted do something different and I thought let's do a story telling style song. I enjoy laughing so tries make it funny off top of my head
My son was into dirt biking. He was crazy good on anything with two wheels. Well, he still is. He at one point thought he was going to be a professional. I spent five figures on his mountain bike - and it was used. He had a half pipe that he'd BMX bike on and shit like that. He entered a race and broke his collarbone, ending his thoughts about 'going pro', and off he went to college.
Damn a cb made him think twice lol. I will be honest with 2 plates it held up but doesn't feel good riding. This time same shoulder broke greater humerus and torn from rotor cup. So now comes life time pain Dr said. Glad he gave the dream up comes only with pain
It wasn't so much the pain as it was his realization that he was years behind his peers and had no chance of catching up.
The pain helped him learn that lesson! Statistically speaking, he had no chance of turning pro. As good as he was, he didn't get into it until he was in his early teens. By then, everyone racing has been doing it for five or more years.
So, it was a good choice. The pain was just an extra motivator. Pain's a good motivator, really. If it hurts, don't do it! That's how we learn to do things like not touch the stove!
