It was a summer night 1961 My boy's with me and my hair's undone My red dress flowing like the American flag My daddy's gone My mom's uptight But I love this boy I met that night But mommy said I'd never see him again Back of this bike with nowhere to go The Stones are playing on the radio I know I'll never leave my baby again Living on the edge, on the edge of life I hope I can make this boy my wife But I know I'll never see my baby again His boys are made of leather and dream They ride too nice but their eyes are mean They're always under watch of the big man My boy said the same feels My life's too rough, I'm playing to lose He grabs my purse and said "don't care whats our plan" Back of this bike with nowhere to go The Stones are playing on the radio I know I'll never leave my baby again Living on the edge, on the edge of life I hope I can make this boy my wife But I know I'll never see my baby again It was a summer night 1961 My boys with me and my hairs undone My red dress flowing like the American flag Back of this bike with nowhere to go The Stones are playing on the radio I know I'll never leave my baby again Living on the edge, on the edge of life I hope I can make this boy my wife But I know I'll never see my baby again
