Lyrics
CHARLIE HARLEY
CHORUS
My name is CHARLIE HARLEY, I ride a big, fat hog
I don't own a pickup truck. I ain't no rolls Royce snob
I ride the open highways, I go just where I please
My name is CHARLIE HARLEY, I love living wild and free
I don't wear no patches, I don't join any clubs
I don't believe in hate, I believe in peace and love
I love the freedom of the road, I fly our country's flag
I don't believe in politics, To me it's just a drag
CHORUS
That's just the way I am, What you see is what you get
I've avoided being "normal", And they ain't got me yet
My suit is made of leather, My boots are leather too
I've never worn a shirt and tie, That's something I won't do
BRIDGE
I ain't no city slicker, No sheltered urbanite
I live down by the border , I love the outdoor life
Just because I ride a bike, Don't mean I can't look sharp
Long brown beard and tattooed arms, Yes, I'm a work of art
My stereo is blasting, Zz top is playing loud
Racing down the highway, Chasing the next cloud
CHORUS
GORDON ANDERSON AND JOHN COVERT
