"unknown legend" (neil young)

(fotografia de zoe strauss, "painted over billboard, coal", 2001-2006)

"she used to work in a diner
never saw a woman look finer
i used to order just to watch her float across the floor
she grew up in a small town
never put her roots down
daddy always kept movin' so she did too

somewhere on a desert highway
she rides a harley-davidson
her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind
she's been runnin' half her life
the chrome and steel she rides
collidin' with the very air she breathes
the air she breathes

you know it ain't easy
you got to hold on
she was an unknown legend in her time
now she's dressin' two kids
lookin' for a magic kiss
she gets the far-away look in her eyes

somewhere on a desert highway
she rides a harley-davidson
her long blonde air flyin' in the wind
she's been runnin' half her life
the chrome and steel she rides
collidin' with the very air she breathes
the air she breathes" (1)
