Biography:
Real McKenzies is a Celtic punk band founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1992, described as "a guitar-and-bagpipe wailing Celtic punk rock-and-roll". They have set themselves apart from other punk bands by including bagpipes in all of their studio albums and at most of their concerts, much like the similar bands Dropkick Murphys and Flatfoot 56. Their current piper, Matt MacNasty, has been with the band since its release of "Loch'd and Loaded" in 2001.

Am
Up on a motorbike last night
C
It was late after the show
G
When we'd jet Quebec
Am
And headed to Ontario
Am
Well we run the shoreline wide
C
Lake Superior on our side
G
Hear the sound of the road
Am
Become our stereo
Am
On a cold October eve
C
Under the lights of Montreal
G
Well we'd played for dreams and demons
Am
Became to 'em all for all
Am
Now the club refused to pay us
C
For the show that we had made
G
And they'd tossed us to the gutter
Am
Drunk and underpaid
GUITAR SOLO
Am - C - G - Am
Am
Hung over outta cash
C
We pledged to flee that city fast
G
When we'd jack the club man's bike
Am
to settle up at last
Am
We got a spark the engine turned
C
She fired up the rubber burned
G
And before you know it
Am
We were in the highest gear
Am
Up on a motorbike last night
C
It was late after the show
G
When we'd jet Quebec
Am
And headed to Ontario
Am
Well we run the shoreline wide
C
Lake Superior at our side
G
Hear the sound of the road
Am
Become our stereo
Am
Up on a motorbike last night
C
Still with a thousand miles to go
G
Well we'd blaze down
Am
the highway through Ontario
Am
On past the rock cut
C
Of the Canadian Shield
G
We'd cross the Manitoba border
Am
to the Prairie fields
