Pat Bacon: Music

Harley Girl

(Pat Bacon)
Pat Bacon
janey was a princess/she lived up on the hill/never thought she'd learn to fly/against her daddy's will/ridin' down the highway/the wind curled through her hair/old enough to know better/too young to care/johnny was a leather/he lived across the tracks/someday he'd be outta there/never turnin' back/riding with the dragons in the south dakota hills/miles flew beneath the tires but the time was standing still/CHORUS: no need to try and win her over/with your diamonds and your pearls/don't mean a thing to a harley girl/springtime in the mountains/they were passing apple wine/cheap guitars and muscle cars and janey looked so fine/campfire beside them and the stars in the night/how could it be so wrong when it all felt so right?/summer found the dragons on the wrong side of the law/something they didn't do but noone cared at all/climbin' out the window through the darkness she could see/the price she'd have to pay to live a life that's free/repeat chorus/sometimes late at night/the engines roaring by/janey's dad is on the porch, her mom is at his side/thunder fills the valley, then fades after a while/if you look real close sometimes you can see her momma smile/repeat chorus
