lyrics

MY MARTIN AND MY MOTORBIKE
(Ian M. Bruce)

CHORUS
I'm done up in leather,
I'm all black and shiny,
I'm astride two wheels,
My guitar behind me.
Two out of three things that I like.
My ma ma ma Martin and my motorbike. Uh Huh uh! Etc

Well some say, "I'm thick between the ears"
And some say, "It will end in tears."
And some say, "Why don't he use a car?"
Others just wanna swap with my guitar.

CHORUS

Well, I could be your daddy's dad
I'm a deluded old dude it's oh so sad.
Roy Rogers had his horse.
This is just me with mine, of course.

CHORUS

You'll never know if you've never tried,
The comradeship between those who ride
You'll never know how good it feels ...
On two wheels ...
Until you're ...

CHORUS

If a blue Blackbird is passin' by
And a black flight case points to the sky.
Not somethin' I think you'll often see.
It's probably me!

CHORUS
