Well, it`s a shin-kicking morning,
Gotta kickstart today,
Wind up my machine and I'll be on my way.
Owwww....
Well, a burning fever
Woke me up at the dawn,
I didn't have a choice, I had to carry on.
Well, my engine's overheating
And I'm running out of gas,
I only got two speeds and it's slow and fast.
Yeah..
Well, I got to find a town that's got some action,
Got to find a place that's open late, right away
Owww...
Well, I got to find a town that's got more action,
Got to find a place stays open late, right away
Yeahhh..
C. C. Mama,
Motorcycle queen,
I'm gonna catch up with you with my lightning wheels.
Yeah...
It's cold, black coffee,
Eggs and grease,
Stop in at the truckstop, I don't want to sleep.
Well, it's a shin-kick morning,
I'm gonna turn up the heat,
I'm racing all the truckers and I got them beat,
You know I'm racing all the truckers and I've got them beat,
Racing all the truckers and I've got them beat.
Wind up my machine and I'll be on my way,
Wind up my machine and I'll be on my way,
Wind up my machine and I'll be on my way,
Yeah......
