18 Motorcycle Songs

Personally, I love riding my motorcycle on long stretches while listening to music blaring out of my earphones. Loud, and fast music, preferably with electric guitar just makes the ride so much smoother.

With that in mind, here are 18 songs with motorcycles in them. Mind you, they may not be motorcycle songs, but they do have a motorcycle theme. There are many more out there, but this is just a quick overview what's there.

All links to the songs (not all of them have links) are on Amazon US, where you can listen to the song, and even buy for MP3 download to play on your MP3 device or iPod/iPhone.

Motorcycle Rider by The Icicle Works I've seen the moonlit lake, The brown leaves blown across the way, I've seen the icy black November, I've seen the meadow & the stoplight up in front of me, I've seen some things I can't remember... I'm a motorcycle rider thats what I am, I'm a motorcycle rider I've seen the beauty of the open plain, the wide terrain, I've seen some pretty girls thru' visors I've seen my way across six thousand miles of toll-free road, N' every journey put me wiser... All along the valley wall, The white lines and the freeway, There my lover calls to me above the engine roar...

Biker by Pretenders Biker they tell me You're a dangerous lover Well that might ne true Oh, but I'd never ride with another Maybe they've never had their arms around anything so wild and free You bring the biker out in me I can't understand it Why people give you grief You play the one armed bandit Like and outlaw with a belief To them it's the norm for a man to conform to a godless society You bring the biker out in me You bring the biker out in me Because they've no interest In the struggle to obtain The status and bogus desires That drive most people insane You who have nothing have Something that only the 1% Could ever see You bring the biker out in me You bring the biker out in me

Gypsy Biker by Bruce Springstreen The speculators made their money on the blood you shed Your momma's pulled the sheets up off your bed Profiteers on Jhames Street sold your shoes and clothes Ain't nobody talkin' because everybody knows We pulled your cycle up back the garage and polished up the chrome* Our gypsy biker coming home Sister Mary sits with your colors, but Johnny's drunk and gone This old town's been rousted, which side you on? They would march up over the hill, this old fools parade Shouting victory for the righteous for you must hear the grace Ain't nobody talkin', but just waiting on the phone Gypsy biker coming home Whoa! [Guitar solo] We rode into the foothills, Bobby brought the gasoline We stood around the circle as she lit up the ravine The spring hot desert wind rushed down on us all the way back home [Harmonica bridge] To the dead, well it don't matter much 'bout who's wrong or right You asked me that question, I didn't get it right You slipped into your darkness, now all that remains Is my love for you brother, life's still unchanged To him that threw you away, you ain't nothing but gone My gypsy biker's coming home And now I'm out countin' white lines Countin' white lines and getting stoned My gypsy biker's coming home Whoa! [Guitar solo] La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la [fades]

Motorcycle Emptiness by Manic Street Preachers Culture sucks down words Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles Organise your safe tribal war Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto Each day living out a lie Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Life lies a slow suicide Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths From feudal serf to spender This wonderful world of purchase power Just like lungs sucking on air Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Drive away and it's the same Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim Your joys are counterfeit This happiness corrupt political shit Living life like a comatose Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

Unknown Legend by Neil Young She used to work in a diner Never saw a woman look finer I used to order just to watch her float across the floor She grew up in a small town Never put her roots down Daddy always kept movin', so she did too. Somewhere on a desert highway She rides a Harley-Davidson Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind She's been runnin' half her life The chrome and steel she rides Collidin' with the very air she breathes The air she breathes. You know it ain't easy You got to hold on She was an unknown legend in her time Now she's dressin' two kids Lookin' for a magic kiss She gets the far-away look in her eyes. Somewhere on a desert highway She rides a Harley-Davidson Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind She's been runnin' half her life The chrome and steel she rides Collidin' with the very air she breathes The air she breathes.

Leader Of The Pack by Bette Midler "Hey, Betty? Is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?" "Uh huh." "Oh! Must be nice riding on that motorcycle after school, huh?" "Uh huh." "Is he picking you up after school today?" "Unh uh!" "Well, where'd ya meet him?" I met him at the candy store. He turned around and smiled at me. Ya get the picture? (Yes, we see) That's when I fell for the leader of the pack. My folks were always puttin' him down. Down! Down! They said he came from the wrong side of town. They told me that he was bad, but I knew that he was sad. And thats why I fell for the leader of the pack. One day my dad said, "Find someone new." New! New! I had to tell my Jimmy that, whoa, we were through. He stood up and then he asked me why. But all I could do was cry. I'm sorry I hurt you, the leader of the pack. He sort of smiled and he kissed me goodbye. The tears were beginning to show. And as he drove away from me on that rainy, rainy night, I begged him to go slow. But whether he heard me I'll never, never, never, never know! Look out now, now, look out! Whoa oh no no no! Whoa no no no! No! No! I felt so helpless! What could I do-wo-wo-wo-wo? The only, only love that we had was through. At school they all stop and stare. I can't hide the tears. I just don't care! I will never forget you, the leader of the pack! Whoa-oo-woh! Gone gone gone! Gone gone gone! The leader of the pack is, now he's gone! The leader of the pack is, now he's gone! The leader of the pack is, whoa gone! Gone gone gone! Gone gone gone! Gone gone gone!
