Lyrics

I was thumbing my way on a desert road sun burning holesn in my eyes
My skin was hot and my sweat was warm my throat had naver been so dry
There was no one around nobody for miles at least that?s what I thought
Then suddenly from nowhere at all something passed me and screeched to a halt

So I ran on ahead and I worked up a smile wiped the dust from my face so I could see
And there she was black leather and hair slouching back on a Harley D

She said don?t know what you think that youre doing out here and I must say that you look a sight
But this aint no place to be all alone especially when the day turns to night
Theres a deamon asleep behind each boulder you see waiting for the moon to shine through
And way up yonder lives the devil himself just waiting for somebody like you

So climb up behind and put your hand on my waist but that?s about as high as they go
Or I?ll kick you so hard you?ll be back on your feet faster than you?ll ever know

Oh the rubber was burning and the wheels were turning but I swear they never touched the ground
The wind was strong and we were flying along faster than the speed of sound
We were straight on that track with the night on our back and darkness was starting to fix
There was fire in the sky as we ran for our loves on route six sixty six

Now that engine was screaming it was calling aloud smoking from deep down below
She said weve got to keep moving got to push on ahead theres still a hundered miles to go
I said weve got to get off weve got to rest it a while or at least drop down a gear
Cause that motor were riding its about to blow and its our only way out of here

So we pulled on over by the side of the road and waited while the metal cooled down
But the air had a feel like something had stirred and shadows started moving around

So we climbed back on as fast as we could I could hear the beat of her heart
She was tuning the handle and kicking away but that engine did not want to start
I could hear footsteps from somewhere ahead shuffling on down the road
A whisper behind a mumble of voices and this time my sweat ran cold

She was spinning the handle she was kicking like crazy the tension rising higher and higher
I felt a hand cold as ice on my shoulder as that engine decided to fire

Oh the rubber was burning and the wheels were turning but I swear they never touched the ground
The wind was strong and we were flying along faster than the speed of sound
We were straight on that track with the night on our back and darkness was starting to fix
There was fire in the sky as we ran for our loves on route six sixty six

Well it was long ago and very far away but the memory returns now and then
I still don?t know where she came from I never saw her again
And I guess that will never know what I saw in that fading light
I only know I get a shiver inside whenever the day turns to night

Oh the rubber was burning and the wheels were turning but I swear they never touched the ground
The wind was strong and we were flying along faster than the speed of sound
We were straight on that track with the night on our back and darkness was starting to fix
There was fire in the sky as we ran for our loves on route six sixty six
