Well, I have a saturday nite drive in a subway train,
a lotta speed inside my brain
Shakin' brakin' it loose, the best that I can do
I gotta get out gotta get out now,
I wanna hear my wheels scream and shout
Get out of the subway, get my wheels on the street and start motorvatin'
Runnin' all alone in a lowdown street,
s-s-s-searchin' for my medicine
riff in A
And a little satisfaction from a woman is all I need.
I gotta pull myself together, hey-hey-hey, hear me say
I gotta drive rite into the fire
and I'm burning, burning, burning I'm motorvatin'
I got skintight jeans and high-heel shoes,
a leather jacket and nothin' to lose
Gonna rock the nation down the filling station
Don't try to get a ride in my cadillac,
you don't look good enough for that
Sure I am a loner but I'm never alone I get by on my own
I gotta pull myself together, hey-hey-hey, hear me say
I gotta drive rite into the fire
and I'm burning, burning, burning I'm motorvatin'
Riff in A x 2 (1st time, bass only)

gtr1 harmonica
We gotta pull ourselves together, hey-hey-hey is what I say
We gotta pull ourselves together, hey-hey-hey now hear me say
We gotta drive rite into the fire
and start burning, burning, burning we're motorvatin'
We gotta pull ourselves together, hey-hey-hey is what I say
We gotta pull ourselves together, hey-hey-hey hear me say:
"We're motorvatin'!"

The "4b6b4" means, bend up and back a full tone.
For the long A-chords try something like this on lead guitar.

I'm not saying it's exactly correct, but rather just an estimation with
the feel. What really gets played there seems to slightly vary from one
recording to another.
