Lyrics
HARLEYS AND HEADSTONES
Stop by and see me anytime you want to
it's my place of business don't you know
i can keep your bike a runnin
adjust the clutch and make it go
may i suggest you run a straight pipe
so they can hear you on the fly
o they may never see you coming,
these loud bikes keep you alive.
ref.
'cause i got harley's and headstone's
thats what i got for you
i got harleys and headstones
what will it be what can i do
don't let the gravestones bug you
that's just my job by day
so i can keep on riding
bet i'll get there so they say
ref.
;;;;;;;;;;;;
but this life it aint forever
so i go riding while i can
you know this life it ain't forever
so i do it like a man
ref;;;;;;;;;;
My wife she don't like to see me
working on these bikes all day
she'd rather see me pounding
out what these stones should say
but buddy wont you tell her
when i'm dead and gone
please bury my harley...use my head for the stone.
