Story Behind The Song
A conversation in the break room of a store I used to work for. A couple of women were talking about the guys they used to date. They were both married to "nice" guys but remembered their experiences with "bad" boys fondly.

Lyrics
Mustang Man
I never wanted him for a husband;
I knew I could never hold him if I did
But when he touched me there was lightnin'
I'da crawled from Memphis to Miami for just one kiss.
OH HE WAS A CHARMER,
HE WAS A HARD CASE,
RUNNIN' WILD THE WAY A MUSTANG CAN.
HE WAS SO HANDSOME
IT HURT TO WATCH HIM
BUT HOW I LOVED TO WATCH MY MUSTANG MAN.
Used to love that smilin' crow-black moustache
and those eyes that promised me a brand new world.
Life was new and I was ready
Learning what it meant to be a grown up girl.
Repeat Chorus
(Instrumental break)
And then one morning I heard his Harley;
Didn't even bother to say goodbye.
I won't tell you when that happened
but nothing's ever stopped me going back in time.
Repeat Chorus
Tag: Yes, how I loved to love my mustang man
