As I look at this old MotoGuzzi Eldorado with the sidecar, The words to rusty old American dream come into my mind and morph into this. To the same tune.
Well I don’t look all that ragged, for all the years it’s been
But I’m weakened underneath me where my frame is rusted thin
And this years state inspection, I just barely passed
Come on and ride me out of here this year could be my last
I am a three wheeled road locomotive, from the days of good gasoline
I’m for sale by the side of the road going nowhere, A fading old Italian dream
I rolled off Mandello de lario in 1974
Three days in the show room and then I'm out the door
I’ve been good to all who owned me so have no fear
Come boy lay your money down and take me out of here
I am a three wheeled road locomotive, from the days of cheap gasoline
I’m for sale by the side of the road going nowhere, A fading old Italian dream
Now this bike needs a young man to own him, one who will polish the chrome
I will give you the rest of my lifetime, Don’t let me die here alone
Just shoot me some juice to my battry, give that old starter a spin
Hear me cough, sputter, backfire through the carburator and roar into life once again
I am a three wheeled road locomotive Just polish my chrome so clean
We can ride off into the sunset together, a living old Italian dream
Still running! A living old Italian dream
Phelonis -- Off to ride some more of this island.
