V6-WILD

[Verse 1: Shout-singing Latin rock male lead, shout-singing, fast]
Abuelo rode a red bike back in his day
Sold it when the kids came, put the helmet away
Last spring she found one in the paper for sale
Same red tank, same chrome on the rail
Family said no and my tía said she's crazy
Mamá said no way, you're seventy-one, lady
So I snuck her to the church lot every Sunday at dawn
Kickstand up with her rosary on
First lap wobbling, the second one screaming
Third lap leaning and I swear she was beaming
Cones flying everywhere, the priest in the door
Crossing himself like he's seen it before

[Verse 2: Shout-singing Latin rock male lead, shout-singing, faster]
Graduation morning and the family gone ahead
Me in the driveway with a battery dead
Ceremony at ten and it's nine fifty-two
Cap in my hand and I don't know what to do
Then I hear a motor coming up the street
Red tank shining and the thunder in the seat
Church dress tucked and a helmet with a bow
Abuela on the throttle saying mijo, get on, go

[Conga Break: conga break, the band drops out and the congas take eight bars alone, faster and faster, then the band crashes back]

[Bridge: Shout-singing Latin rock male lead, shout-singing, holding on for dear life]
Holding her waist with my gown in the wind
Cap flying off and she don't care, she just grins
Through the stadium gate and across the grass
Right as they called my name, she hit the gas

[Verse 3: Shout-singing Latin rock male lead, shout-singing, laughing]
Walked across the stage with my hair all wild
Whole stadium standing for the lady and her grandchild
Tía filming and Mamá shaking her head
Abuela on the grass revving that bike instead
Diploma in my hand and I don't need a car
Got the fastest ride in town and she's the star
Same red bike that abuelo rode
Now she's the one carrying me down the road

[Final Chorus: Shout-singing Latin rock male lead, full chest, shouted, everything up]
Step on it, abuela, nobody gonna stop you
Seventy-one and the road's got nothing on you
Písale, písale, the whole block knows
Step on it, abuela, go, go, go

[Outro: Shout-singing Latin rock male lead, laughing, congas ring out and fade]
Abuela, slow down
Mentira, faster

[End]
