harley girl with the sun in her eyes
her arms around her daddy
loves the pulse of man and machine
her legs hold them tightly
come on down from arkansas to make the gulf coast rounds
there’s a little juke joint in galveston
and the band plays real loud

harley girl loves the color of red
on her lips and fingernails
she runs her fingers up and down
the back of her harley man
after proud marys and the whiskey rounds
the tide comes slippin’ in
you can bet there’ll be a joyful sound
comin’ from the sea horse motor inn

ride the asphalt
ride the wind
down the dotted line
and you know that sound when they come around
it’s the heart of the harley man

harley girl loves her highway man
his chains and his leather skin
knows some comfort from those thick brown arms
knows the love of the road and wind
from the sun spilling out on the coastal plains
to a fire in a juarez sky
and the stars in the sky like the fourth of july
are as endless as the road and miles

ride the asphalt, ride the wind…

harley girl with the sun in her eyes
arms around her daddy
loves the pulse of man and machine
her legs hold them tightly…
