MOTORVATIN' Andy McCoy, Michael Monroe ========== Intro: Drums x4 Riff in G x 2 (1st time bass only) A Well, I have a saturday nite drive in a subway train, A a lotta speed inside my brain Bm G Bm G Shakin' brakin' it loose, the best that I can do A I gotta get out gotta get out now, A I wanna hear my wheels scream and shout Bm G Bm G D Get out of the subway, get my wheels on the street and start motorvatin' A Runnin' all alone in a lowdown street, A s-s-s-searchin' for my medicine riff in A And a little satisfaction from a woman is all I need.
