Unknown Legend Songtext
von Shovels & Rope with Shakey Graves

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

Well somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair
Flyin' in the wind

Well 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

Yeah somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair
Flyin' in the wind

Well she′s been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin′ with the very
Air she breathes
The air she breathes

Yeah somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair
Flyin' in the wind


Well she's been runnin′ half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin′ with the very
Air she breathes
The air she breathes
