Kip Moore - Motorcycle

Somehow the "New Nashville" came out with a flashback to the days of my youth*.  There's something timeless about this song, that captures the dance that's come down through the generations, from a time that's lost in the mists of time.  Perhaps that's what you's expect from a guy who had one of his first gigs in Valdosta, Georgia.  There's a hint of bubblegum to this, but it'd be very, very old bubblegum.



How did something with this much depth get through the Nashville marketing droids?  Oh, yeah - it has a motorcycle.  And a girl.  And the timeless dance.  Yeah, that could get even the droids tapping their toes.

Motorcycle (Songwriters: Kip Moore, Brett James)
The sky, don't think that I've seen it this bright
It's a perfect night to go for a ride
Stars are lined up for you and I

I know, I know you got a boyfriend but so
Don't tell him girl and he'll never know
I'll be there in five, baby, be ready to go

'Cause oh,oh,oh, I got a motorcycle baby
Oh,oh,oh, come on take a ride with me
Oh,oh,oh, I promise you a hell of a ride
'Cause I got a motorcycle tonight

I won't crash and I promise not to drive too fast
I'll be sure the ride is smooth on your ass
No time to waste, girl this night won't last

'Cause oh,oh,oh, I got a motorcycle baby
Oh,oh,oh, come on take a ride with me
Oh,oh,oh, I promise you a hell of a ride
'Cause I got a motorcycle tonight

Come on girl, it ain't a crime
Ain't talking 'bout a lifetime
Everything will be alright baby wrap your legs
around me tight

'Cause oh,oh,oh, I got a motorcycle baby
Oh,oh,oh, come on take a ride with me
Oh,oh,oh, I promise you a hell of a ride
'Cause I got a motorcycle tonight

'Cause oh,oh,oh, I got a motorcycle baby
Oh,oh,oh, come on take a ride with me
Oh,oh,oh, I promise you a hell of a ride
'Cause I got a motorcycle tonight

Yeah, eh
Everything will be alright just wrap your legs and hold on tight
Got a motorcycle tonight

* No, not that long ago.  Just stop.
