The Cheers - Black Denim Trousers lyrics

rate me

He wore black denim trousers<br />

And motorcycle boots<br />

And a black leather jacket<br />

With an eagle on the back<br />

<br />

He had a hopped up cycle<br />

That took off like a gun<br />

That fool was the terror<br />

Of Highway 101<br />

<br />

Well, he never washed his face<br />

And he never combed his hair<br />

He had axle grease embedded<br />

Underneath his fingernails<br />

<br />

On the muscle of his arm<br />

Was a red tattoo<br />

A picture of a heart<br />

Saying Mother, I love you<br />

<br />

He had a pretty girlfriend<br />

By the name of Mary Lou<br />

But he treated her just like<br />

He treated all the rest<br />

<br />

And everybody pitied her<br />

Cause everybody knew<br />

He loved that<br />

Doggone motorcycle best<br />

<br />

He wore black denim trousers<br />

And motorcycle boots<br />

And a black leather jacket<br />

With an eagle on the back<br />

<br />

He had a hopped up cycle<br />

That took off like a gun<br />

That fool was the terror<br />

Of Highway 101<br />

<br />

Mary Lou, poor girl, she pleaded<br />

And she begged him not to leave<br />

She said I've got a feeling<br />

If you ride tonight, I'll grieve<br />

<br />

But her tears were she'd in vain<br />

And her every word was lost<br />

In the rumble of his engine<br />

And the smoke from his exhaust<br />

<br />

He took off like the devil<br />

There was fire in his eyes<br />

He said I'll go a thousand miles<br />

Before the sun can rise<br />

<br />

But he hit a screaming diesel<br />

That was California bound<br />

And when they cleared the wreckage<br />

All they found<br />

<br />

Was his black denim trousers<br />

And motorcycle boots<br />

And a black leather jacket<br />

With an eagle on the back<br />

<br />

But they couldnt find the cycle<br />

That took off like a gun<br />

And they never found the terror<br />

Of Highway 101
