Harley D. ( The real king of the road)

Great story, Gary!  Chock full of great imagery - really put me there "where the action is."  

The only nitpick that I had - and it's just me - is the Bridge section. To me, it doesn't do what a bridge should do - it's more just a continuation of the verse where the ittle girl is crying for her dog.  

Maybe you could use what you have at the moment for your bridge as the first two lines to a fourth verse (I think you can get away with a fourth verse in a story song like this), and then just add two new lines about Harley D. "going onto his reward."   Just a suggestion.
