lyrics

I wanna have me a motorcycle to take me on down the road
A rat-bike made of Harley parts or a Norton Commando

Then meet me on the highway we’ll take another run on down
That final stretch of black-top before the gravel takes back the ground

Once I saw the Bat-Mobile in a Las Vegas casino museum
And I asked the man could I drive it and he said well you see son
This car ain’t got no works it was built just for show
Ain’t that just like life that’s the way a lot of us go

Then meet me on the highway we’ll take another run on down
That final stretch of black-top before the gravel takes back the ground

I wanna be like Big Daddy Garlitz in a blown GTO on I-90
In the early morning sunlight with no one on the road but me

Then meet me on the highway we’ll take another run on down
That final stretch of black-top before the gravel takes back the ground

I wanna have me a motorcycle to take me on down the road
A rat-bike made of Harley parts or a Norton Commando

Then meet me on the highway we’ll take another run on down
That final stretch of black-top before the gravel takes back the ground

about

Charlie Parr Duluth, Minnesota

"Parr is scruffy and uncomfortable looking, with a longish beard and balding head. He dropped out of high school in the 1980s, but he looks older than that. He's pathologically deadpan in his delivery of in between song banter. The crowd really enjoyed his depressingly hilarious dead cat story. He never smiles." - Lucy Steigerwald
