V Twin

I bought myself a motorbike, two cylinders, vee twin

With a hundred wild horses waiting patiently within

I release them when I take it out and open up the throttle

But never too much all at once, I haven’t got the bottle
.

I’ve got myself a motorbike, two cylinders vee twin

Whenever it is sunny you will never find me in

Hacking down the highway thirty seconds to the mile

Lovin’ every minute on my face a happy smile
.

Had myself a motorbike, two cylinders, vee twin

Used to go out riding but I had to pack it in

The policemen caught me speeding, once too often so it seems

Now my motorcycle riding is just memories and dreams
