The Chopper

I was layin`in the front yard yesterday
I thought I heard a noise coming my way
I turned and looked and much to my surprise
There he stood with a chopper by his side
Ooh the man and the chopper
A king and queen seater
It had a sissy bar with a scorpion on the back
He said they call me it and that`s what I am
I`ve been ridin` for a week and tired I am
Oooh that drink would really be kind of nice
But some down home lovin`would be just outta sight
A king and queen seater
Had a siisy bar with scorpion on the back
I said come here cause I dug him at first sight
I said you`re just the kind of guest I need tonight
Ahh just like he`d been there all his life
He took me in his arms so gently
Kissed my face all over from cheek to cheek
Oooh the man and the chopper
A king and queen seater
Had a sissy bar with a scorpion on the back
He made could chills run up and down my spine
I did what I could to try to make the chopper mine
But I woke up the next morning in the time to see
The chopper pullin` out and leavin` me
Oooh it was the man and the chopper
A king and queen seater
Had a sissy bar with a scorpion on the back.
