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!"
