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

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.
