Lyrics

She rides ‘cycles
Her teeth in a clench
She hears voices
But, no, they sure ain’t French
She’s a tomboy
And never seems to fit
She ain’t saintly
But she’s no hypocrite

She’s a flamin’ kind of girl
Handsome, raucous and raw
And she’s gonna change the world
You watch
Cuz she’s Joan—Joan-Joan—
Joan-Joan-Joan—
Joan-Joan-Joan—
Make that Joan of Arkansas

Some folks hate her
She’s not nicey-nice
She’s all woman
Sugar, peppers and spice
She’s not worried
Just laughs in their face
Take a good look
There’s a crazy kind of grace

She loves her momma
When she can find her
But she’s hot thinkin’ momma
Cuz… that’s all behind her
You’re just wastin’ your time
Feelin’ sorry for her
You hear that sound>
That’s her motor startin’ to purr!

She’s a charmer
When she gets on her bike
Love her armor
Hey, what’s there not to like!
That’s her leavin’
See the dust in her wake
No one’s gonna
Burn that girl at the stake!
