G
She used to work in a diner, never saw a woman look finer
C
I used to order just to see her float across the floor.
G
She grew up in a small town, never put her roots down.
C
Daddy kept movin so she did too.
Chorus:
G C G
Somewhere on a desert highway, she rides a harley davidson
C
Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind.
G
She's been runnin half of her life.
C G
The chrome and steel she rides,
C G
collidin' with the very air she breathes, the air she breathes.
Repeat Intro Riff
You know it's ain't easy, you got to hold on.
She was an unknown legend in her time.
Now whe's dressin' two kids, lookin' for that magic kiss.
She gets that far away look in her eyes.
Repeat Chorus
She used to work in a diner
Never saw a woman look finer
I used to order just to watch
her float across the floor
She grew up in a small town
Never put her roots down
Daddy always kept movin',
so she did too.
Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair
flyin' in the wind
She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with
the very air she breathes
The air she breathes.
You know it ain't easy
You got to hold on
She was an unknown legend
in her time
Now she's dressin' two kids
Lookin' for a magic kiss
She gets the far-away look
in her eyes.
Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair
flyin' in the wind
She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with the very
air she breathes
The air she breathes.

She used to work in a diner
Never saw a woman look finer
I used to order just to watch
her float across the floor
She grew up in a small town
Never put her roots down
Daddy always kept movin',
so she did too.
Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair
flyin' in the wind
She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with
the very air she breathes
The air she breathes.
You know it ain't easy
You got to hold on
She was an unknown legend
in her time
Now she's dressin' two kids
Lookin' for a magic kiss
She gets the far-away look
in her eyes.
Somewhere on a desert highway

Her long blonde hair

She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides

The air she breathes.
