at # 6 in 1955
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black
leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
Well, he never washed his face and he
never combed his hair
He had axle grease imbedded underneath his fingernails
On the
muscle of his arm was a red tattoo
A picture of a heart saying "Mother, I love you"
He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou
But he treated her just like he
treated all the rest
And everybody pitied her and everybody knew
He loved that doggone
motorcycle best
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black
leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
Mary Lou, poor girl, she
pleaded and she begged him not to leave
She said "I've got a feeling if you ride tonight I'll
grieve"
But her tears were shed in vain and her every word was lost
In the rumble of
an engine and the smoke from his exhaust
: Then he took off like the Devil
and there was fire in his eyes!! He
said "I'll go a thousand miles before the sun can rise."
But he hit a screamin' diesel
that was California-bound" And when they cleared the
wreckage, all
they found
Was his black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
But they couldn't find the 'cicle
that took off like a gun
And they never found the terror of High way 1 oh 1
