Mud on the Wheels
Style: Ceilidh jig

[Verse 1]
You dropped your bike against the gate
Ran in before the whistle blew late
Mud on the tyres from yesterday's ride
We stood there grinning, bursting with pride

[Pre-chorus]
Every year you come round the bend
Faster, braver, still our friend
So lift your voice, don't hold it in

[Chorus]
Rhett, we're raising up a glass for you
Everybody here has got your back too
Rhett, the room is loud, the cake's not set
Sing it louder now, happy birthday, Rhett

[Verse 2]
You never took the easy street
Pedalled hard through wind and sleet
We watched you grow from small to tall
Still the one who catches us all

[Bridge]
Here's to the tracks you left behind
Here's to the marks that mud can't hide
You've always ridden straight and true
This town got lucky, having you

[Chorus]
Rhett, we're raising up a glass for you
Everybody here has got your back too
Rhett, the room is loud, the cake's not set
Sing it louder now, happy birthday, Rhett

[Outro]
The gate still stands, the tyres still lean
Happy birthday, Rhett, you know what we mean
