The Harley Song.... By Bill Holoboff
David graduated with a master's degree
Another seven years he's got a Phd
His Ma & pa were grinnin' just as proud as could be
They said 'We wanna get you something, son, so what'll it be?'
He closed his eyes so thoughtfully
and said "Yeah, Pop, I think I wanna be free
I wanna ride out in the open sun
I wanna get a look from everyone
I wanna show 'em I can have some fun
I wanna ride a Harley-Davidson
Father Bob had done a good job for thirty some years
A lotta weddings, lotta funerals, Kinda sick of the tears
Did his preachin' on Sunday, went home for the night
Woke up Monday mornin' in a whole different light
He said 'Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't care
I still love my fellow man, but I just needed some air
I wanna ride out in the open sun
I wanna get a look from everyone
I wanna show 'em I can have some fun
I wanna ride a Harley-Davidson
Well, little Tommy and his mommy on Christmas Eve
Went down to the mall to sit on Santa's knee
Santa said 'Come and take your picture with me'
And Tommy read his list so carefully
He said 'The wagon sounds okay and the pony we'll see
But sorry, kid, the new bike's for me
I wanna ride out in the open sun
I wanna get a look from everyone
I wanna show 'em I can have some fun
I wanna ride a Harley-Davidson
