Kathy Mattea - Harley Lyrics

There was a motorcycle mama and her man
With a wind burnt tan and a Harley
Roarin' through Bakersfield when her water broke
They pulled into a hospital and for a little joke

They named him Harley
They bought a sidecar and a small bandana band
And they loved their Harley

Slidin' sideways up the coast cruisin' highway one
The sidecar came undone no one noticed
Thrashing through a golden meadow it came to rest right where
A farmer's wife cried Jesus christ has answered all our prayers

And they named him Harley
Because of a tatoo that claimed his name was true
And they loved their Harley

He was raised upon a farm cradled in the arms
Of Beulah and Barney
But then at a restless age they unlocked his cage
And he became a carney

There was a motorcycle daredevil deluxe
Jumping fifty trucks at the fairgrounds
A middle aged hippie couple way up in the stands
Heard the crowd chanting loud the name of this young man

And they called him Harley
And that hippie couple smiled could this be their long lost child
So they met Harley
Convinced him of the news when they compared tatoos
And they loved their Harley
