Out of the street – get on home
Tail shaking filly running on her own
They say she got loose on the night
She was born
Cranking it up in a school zone

“Kick it out – Kick it out”, she said
“kick out your motor and drive
While you’re still alive – kick it out!”

Sitting in a bar in a seaside town
Sweet little love getting high getting down
Sailors see her running along the beach
Laugh and jump out of reach

Wild music blowing in her mane
She needs a bareback rider won’t give her
No pain
A hard racy game of give and take
Leaves them dazed – half crazed- in her wake

“Kick it out – Kick it out”, she said
“kick out your motor and drive
While you’re still alive – kick it out!”
