A letra:
Motorcycle
mama
Won't you lay your big spike down?
Motorcycle mama
Won't
you lay your big spike down?
I always get in trouble when you
bring it around
Motorcycle mama
Won't you lay it down
Do,
do, do, do, ah
I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
I'm runnin'
down the proud highway
Yeah, I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
I'm
runnin' down that proud highway
And as long as I keep movin'
I
won't need a place to stay
Motorcycle mama
Won't you lay your
big spike down?
Motorcycle mama
Won't you lay your big spike
down?
I always get in trouble when you bring that
around
Motorcycle mama
Won't you lay it down?
Well, I'm here to deliver
I hope you
can read my mail, oh yeah
I just escaped last night
From the
memory county jail, yeah
I see your box is open
And your flag
is up
My message is ready
If there's time enough
Ooh, ooh
Motorcycle mama
Won't you lay your
big spike down?
Motorcycle mama
Won't you lay your big spike
down?
Motorcycle mama
Won't you lay it
down?
