Well the first time I saw her
she had lost her reason to believe
Love had left her abandoned
she had depended on it desperately
Yeah, well I made her smile
this is as good a place as any to die
‘Cause I got the wings
if you're ready to fly
Yeah, she wants to ride
leavin' everything behind but freedom
Take a last look in her eyes
‘cause it's time to say goodbye -
goodbye to Motorcycle Loretta
Well the last time I saw her
looked like she'd just discovered Rock'n Roll
Gave up all her possessions
and was headed down the open road
She was a tightly wound ball of desire
but now she found a new way to get higher
She traded in the alcohol for two wheels of fire
Yeah, she wants to ride
leavin' everything behind but freedom
Take a last look in her eyes
‘cause it's time to say goodbye -
goodbye to Motorcycle Loretta
Well it took so long to free her
make her feel alive
Well it took so long to see her
it was inside all the time
Yeah it took so long to free her
make her feel alive
Well it took so long to see her
it was inside all the time
Yeah, she wants to ride
leavin' everything behind but freedom
Take a last look in her eyes
‘cause it's time to say goodbye -
goodbye to Motorcycle Loretta
