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 blonde at the Dairy Queen

I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like to ride motorcycles
She likes it too
I like to ride motorcycles
She likes it too

I always wore my hair just a little too long
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 [bad word] her fingers through

I got my reasons why I do what I do
I like to wear my hair long
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 startion 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
I like country music
She likes it too
I like country music
She likes it too

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
And she likes it too
