Lyrics
ON THE DAY SHE WAS BORN,
THEY SWEAR IT'S FACT
WHEN THE DOCTOR SLAPPED HER
SHE SLAPPED HIM BACK.
HER MOTORCYCLE MAMA'S
ONLY CHILD
SHE WAS BORN TO RIDE
SHE WAS BORN TO BE.....DO WE REALLY GOTTA SPELL IT OUT FOR YA.
THEY ROCKED HER TO SLEEP
TO MISSISSIPPI QUEEN
GOT HER FIRST TATTOO
WHEN SHE WAS SWEET SIXTEEN
IT SAID
CHROME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
CHROME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
RIDIN LOW IN THE SADDLE
SETS YOUR SOUL ON FIRE
AND THAT HEAVY METAL THUNDER
TAKES YOU HIGHER AND HIGHER
CHROME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.
MILWAUKEE TO STURGIS
THE HALLOWED ROUTE
TRACED IN EVERY CREASE
OF HER STEEL-TOE BOOTS
BLACK-TOP HEAVEN
HAS CAST IT'S SPELL
AS SHE WAILS ALONG
ON THE HIGHWAY TO......LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW THE SONG, ANGEL.
SOMEDAY,
WHEN SHE'S LAID TO REST
DRAPED ON HER CROSS
WILL BE HER LEATHER VEST
READIN'
CHROME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
CHROME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
RIDIN LOW IN THE SADDLE
SETS YOUR SOUL ON FIRE
AND THAT HEAVY METAL THUNDER
TAKES YOU HIGHER AND HIGHER
CHROME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.
