                   Mustang Man

 

V1

I never wanted him for a husband;

I knew I could never hold him if I did

but when he touched me there was lightnin';

I'da crawled from Memphis to Miami for just one kiss.

 

Chorus:

OH HE WAS A CHARMER,

HE WAS A HARD CASE,

RUNNIN' WILD THE WAY A MUSTANG CAN.

HE WAS SO HANDSOME

IT HURT TO WATCH HIM

BUT HOW I LOVED TO WATCH MY MUSTANG MAN.

 

V2

Used to love that smilin' crow-black moustache

and those eyes that promised me a brand new world.

Oh, life was new and I was ready

learnin' what it meant to be a grown up girl.

 

(Chorus)

 

Instrumental break

 

Bridge:

And then one morning I heard his Harley;

he didn't even bother to say goodbye.

I won't tell you when that happened

but nothin's ever stopped me goin' back in time.

 

(Chorus)

 

Tag: Yes, how I loved to love my Mustang Man
