I'm ridin' high I ride alone
I'll be your passin' fancy
After that you're on your own
So many miles
And one night stands
Visit me for a little while in my no man's land

I don't ride for no one
No one rides for free
Just like smokestack lightnin'
You can't catch me

Move by night
I'll be your hired gun
One thousand c.c.'s of fuel-injected fun
Don't mind a little action
That's what I get paid for
Don't mind a little blood
For a few dollars more

I don't ride for no one
No one rides for free
Just like smokestack lightnin'
Yeah
You can't catch me

Stars overhead
Wind in my face
Fade to black
Gone without a trace
All you've got is tarnished memories
Shoulda known
You can't catch me
No!

Livin' like a gypsy
One of the restless breed
No one tells me what to do
I just take what I need
Love 'em and leave 'em
Fatal pretense
See, I'm a desperado
I'll steal your innocence

I don't ride for no one
No one rides for free
Just like smokestack lightnin'
You can't catch me
