Motorcycle Man

(album: Laura Veirs - 1999)

You had to go off Mr. Motorcycle Man into the blacktop sunrise
Waterproof guitar strapped to your back
A dewy look in your blue eyes
You said it's so rock n' roll, I said I know

I wish you were my friend
I wish you were my friend
I wish you were my friend

I only knew you for one short night
But that was enough to hook me in
You said food and music is all you need and I agreed
But now you're gone and it's the end

I wish you were my friend
I wish you were my friend
I wish you were my friend

I wish you were my friend
I wish you were my friend
I wish you were my friend

It seems so easy to just ride yourself away
It seems so easy to just let the music play and get the hell out of the way
So easy for the sapphire on fire to be rough around the edges and so wild

I wish you were my friend
I wish you were my friend
I wish you were my friend

I wish you were my friend
I wish you were my friend
I wish you were my friend
