Unknown Legend


She used to work in a diner
Never saw a woman look finer
I used to order just to watch her float across the floor

She grew up in a small town

Never put her roots
down
Daddy always kept moving, so she did too.



Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson

Her long blond hair flying in the wind

She's been running half her life

The chrome and steel she rides

Colliding with the very air she breathes

The air she breathes.



You know it ain't easy

You got to hold on
She was an unknown legend in her time

Now she's dressing two kids

Looking for a magic kiss

She gets the far-away look in her eyes.



Somewhere on a desert highway

She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blond hair flying in the wind

She's been running half her life

The chrome and steel she rides

Colliding with the very air she breathes

The air she breathes.

I hate his voice. His lyrics are wonderful.

I concur! I love *covers* of his songs. Great song-writer, weird singer.

Is this the song from the wedding ceremony in Rachel Getting Married?

Yes, it is!
