Lyrics

[Chorus: Neil Young] Motorcycle Mama, won't you lay your big spike down? Motorcycle Mama, won't you lay your big spike down? I always get in trouble when you bring it around Motorcycle Mama, won't you lay it down? [Verse 1: Nicolette Larson] Well I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' down the proud highway Yeah I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' down the proud highway And as long as I keep movin', I won't need a place to stay [Chorus: Neil Young] Motorcycle Mama, won't you lay your big spike down? Motorcycle Mama, won't you lay your big spike down? I always get in trouble when you bring that around Motorcycle Mama, won't you lay it down? [Verse 2: Nicolette Larson & Neil Young, Nicolette Larson] Well I'm here to deliver, I hope you can read my mail, oh yeah I just escaped last night from the Memory County jail I see your box is open and your flag is up, my message is ready if there's time enough [Chorus: Neil Young & Nicolette Larson, Nicolette Larson] Motorcycle Mama, won't you lay your big spike down? (Down) Motorcycle Mama, won't you lay your big spike down? Motorcycle Mama, won't you lay it down?
