Lyrics

Intro

long before I was a boy
way back when I was mama's toy
I set out on my own
I said this baby's life is no good for me
gotta get out and see what I can be
and I made the road my home

yeah--a couple years of hoppin' trains
I grew past all my growin' pains
soon I became a man
there on the street I learned the rules
this whole wide world is full of fools
but I do the best I can

Pre-Chorus 1

when you look around at all that's wrong
does it make you want to tag along
to find a bigger world
a wild ride

Chorus

if you want to ride with me
you'd better hold on tight
cuz I'm a man who's livin' life
with all my might
I got the spirit of adventure
and a willin'ness to die
I'm a little livin' legend passin' by

it wasn't long till I found my way
to the land called Made in USA
and there I stayed awhile
five days a week I worked the line
for that countdown to quittin' time
but it never was my style

when I'd had my fill of punchin' clock
got a restless feelin', had to rock
I pulled up stakes to roam
I saddled up, I hit the road
left things behind for a lighter load
this is what I call home

Pre-Chorus 1
Chorus
Bridge

this is where I'm meant to be
Route 66 is calling me
anywhere can feel wrong
if I hang around too long
I leave a story everywhere
both good and bad, but I don't care
I live to be a tale to tell
and never tire of farewell

then one day I saw this sight
a woman's eyes that shone a Light
a little brighter than the rest
and I found myself a slowin' down
just long enough to hear this sound
a beating in my chest

just then and there she's leavin' town
I'm out the door to chase her down
can't let her slip away
she turned her head just long enough
to flash a smile that was so tough
man, it made my day

Pre-Chorus 2

as she kicked her Softail® into gear
so ready to ride out of here
I heard her sing this out
so loud and proud

Chorus

if you want to ride with me
you'd better hold on tight
cuz I'm a woman livin' life
with all my might
I got the spirit of adventure
and a willin'ness to die
I'm a little livin' legend passin' by
yes I'm a little livin' legend passin' by...
...till I ride in my stretch Harley 'cross the sky
