Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She used to work in a diner
Never saw a woman look finer
Well, I used to order just to watch
Her float across the floor
[Verse 2]
She grew up in a small town
Never put her roots down
Daddy always kept moving
So she did too
[Verse 3]
Well, somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley Davidson
Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind
[Verse 4]
Well, she's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Colliding with every air she breathes
The air she breathes
[Verse 5]
You know it ain't easy
You got to hold on
She was an unknown legend in her time
[Verse 6]
Now she's dressing two kids
Looking for that magic kiss
Well, she gets that far-away look in her eyes
[Verse 7]
Yeah, somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley Davidson
Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind
[Verse 8]
But she's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Colliding with every air she breathes
The air she breathes
[Verse 9]
Yeah, somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley Davidson
Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind
[Verse 10]
Well, she's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Colliding with every air she breathes
The air she breathes
