I got my first motorcycle when I turned sixteen
I remember my mama raisin' cane with me
She said, "Son, tell me why you want to ride that thing?"
She didn't know about the blond at the Dairy Queen I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like to ride motorcycles and she likes it too
I like to ride motorcycles and she likes it too I always wore my hair just a little too long
And daddy didn't like it and he made no bones
If I'd have gotten it cut like he wanted me to
She wouldn't have had nothin' left to run her fingers through I got my reasons why I do what I do
I like to wear my hair long and she likes it too
I like to wear my hair long, she likes it too I remember ridin' around with my buddies back home
Listenin' to some country on the radio
When they tried to change the station to some rock 'n' roll
I'd turn the Opry up just as loud as it would go I got my reasons why I do what I do
Well I like country music, she likes it too
Yeah, I like country music, she likes it too Now I got a big Harley and my hair's still long
And I'm still listenin' to a country song I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I know what I like, she likes it too
I know what I like, she likes it too
Yeah, I know what I like, she likes it too
