Motorcycle Mama

Motorcycle Mama why did you leave and where did you go
Motorcycle Mama I've been looking everywhere for you
I remember in '65 when Jimi Hendrix was still alive
Before we went to the Woodstock scene
And turn on to the rock-machine
We rode a red Harley Davidson as we tried to follow the sun.
Motorcycle Mama why did you leave and where did you go
. . .
I remember in '67 we were into the flower-power heaven
Riding up the silvery coast highway
riding up in the Frisco bay
Like Ravi Shanker I played his sitar
And Maharishi Yogi was my Guru Star.
Motorcycle Mama why did you leave and where did you go
. . .
Do you remember about Fritz the Cat
And Dylan's Leopard-Skin Pill-box hat
Sergant Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band
He is a rider through the desert sand
Listen all this makes me blue
But most of all you know I'm missing you.
Motorcycle Mama why did you leave and where did you go
. . .
Where did you go? Why did you leave?
