Panheads Forever
She's hard to get started, she's always so cold
In the mornings, I find her, she's looking so old
There's so many miles, I've been down that road once or twice
Yes, she's not much to look at when we ride through town
But I know when the chips fall, she won't let me down
She knows how to run, and she don't run around on her man
She's a high-flying lady, she takes me where I wanna be
There's no other woman standing between her and me
And I'll always be faithful, and keep her 'til the end of time
God knows, I'll always love that old panhead of mine
I've seen fancy dressers, and they've caught my eye
I rode 'em to ride 'em, then I told them goodbye
I flirted with low riders, sportsters, and shovelheads too
And I cussed her and beat her, and kicked her
To just get her started a couple of times
And you might think, I'm crazy, but I love that Panhead of mine
She's a high-flying lady, she takes me where I wanna be
There's no other woman standing between her and me
And I'll always be faithful, and keep her 'til the end of time
And God knows, I'll always love that old panhead of mine
God knows, I'll always love
I don't know, in case you like George Dickel a little bit
Hm, anyway, maybe you remember this song
Uh, today they just re-released the movie that we did over 20 years ago
And this song was the title of the movie
So yeah, you're about to be seeing it on TV or somewhere soon, anyway
I wrote this song in the 1970s, and a friend of mine who's dying very quickly
In the hospital and I don't know how much longer he's gonna live
I wanna thank him personally for singing this song and making it a big hit
His name is Johnny Paycheck, John Austin Paycheck
