Over time, Lucky Bike has built a devoted fan base with their infectious energy, distinctive sound, and endearing interactions with fans. They’re known for their live performances – a wild, energetic spectacle that captivates audiences and leaves them begging for more.

Wake up in the morning with a song in my heart, (C-Am-D-G)
Go out to meet the day, don’t know where to start. (C-Am-D-G)
Found my Lucky Bike, under a willow tree, (C-Am-D-G)
They say it’s magic, come ride and see. (C-Am-D-G)

Riding on a rainbow, the colors all aglow, (Em-C-G-D)
Our hearts are soaring, the world is in a flow. (Em-C-G-D)
Through the ups and downs, we never lose sight, (Em-C-G-D)
With our Lucky Bike, we ride into the light. (Em-C-G-D)

Through city streets, and fields of gold,
This journey of ours, a story to be told.
No matter where we’re heading, no matter the fright,
With our Lucky Bike, we’ll chase the night.

Riding on a rainbow, the stars as our guide,
With love and laughter always by our side.
Through the highs and lows, we keep the fight,
With our Lucky Bike, everything feels right.
