Mean Streak Lyrics by The Kickstands

Black Boots and Bikes

0

[Verse 1]
It was late at night when he came into town
On a hopped-up cycle that'd shut 'em all down
He revved up and we all stared every time he'd tack it
He sure looked tough in that black leather jacket
[Chorus]
Everybody knew that he had a mean streak
(Had a mean streak, had a mean streak)
[Verse 2]
His body [?] and he knew he could drive
He'd lay flat out at a hundred and five
He flipped all chicks, yeah, they really dug him
It made the guys made so they tried to bug him
[Chorus]
Everybody said that he had a mean streak
(Had a mean streak)
[Bridge]
Now, I didn't believe that this guy was really that bad
And I felt kind of sorry for the way the kids were getting on that lad
So, I said, "Come on, gang, give him a break
Let's let him in for about a week
There ain't no such thing as an ol' mean streak
There just ain't no such thing"
[Verse 3]
They called him a greaser and really put him down
Then they told him that he better leave town
He gassed up his cycle and he rode away now
He took my girl when he left that day now
[Chorus]
Everybody warned me he had a mean streak
(Had a mean streak, had a mean streak)
[Outro]
Everybody warned me he had a mean streak
(Had a mean streak, had a mean streak)
And now I believe it
(Everybody warned me he had a mean streak)
You know, it's really that way it happened
I couldn't believe it, he just split with my girl
My cycle, everything
I should have known better
