Lyrics

There ain't nothing like riding down the Cote d' Azur
New 750 - I was livin' for sure
Movie star baby she's a trouble bound
A Texas horn player I'm a paintin' the town
Mmmm.. you broke my heart baby
Mmmm.. you stole it good baby
Well two wheels a rollin' she's a riding along
Wearing next to nothin' and a singin' my song
Middle of the summer, seventy one
Takin' her and the highway into the sun
Slide back baby I'm a Ready to Roll
Come on darlin' I'm a Ready to Roll, right now
Slide back baby I'm a Ready to Roll
Come on darlin' I'm a Ready to Roll, right now, whoa right now...whoa right now
She's too good for me, but I took her away
Arms around me baby all the way to Marseille
Wanna be your lover
Wanna be your thing
Wanna be what your dreamin
Wanna be what you sing
Mmmm..you broke my heart baby
Mmmm..you stole it good baby
Slide back baby I'm a Ready to Roll
Come on darlin' I'm a Ready to Roll, right now
Slide back baby I'm a Ready to Roll
Come on darlin' I'm a Ready to Roll, right now, whoa right now...oh right now
On the Moyenne Corniche...we're killing some time
Conversations in French and bottles of wine
Yard of hard and a keg of gas
Makin' the future
Killin' the past
There are things that stay with you all of your days
I blew my heart out in so many ways
I still miss her...I miss her a lot
Oh...how could I not?
Slide back baby I'm a Ready to Roll
Come on darlin' I'm a Ready to Roll, right now
Slide back baby I'm a Ready to Roll
Come on darlin' I'm a Ready to Roll, right now
