Well, he never washed his face and he never combed his hair
Yah, dia tidak pernah mencuci muka dan dia tidak pernah menyisir rambutnya
He had axle grease imbedded underneath his fingernails
Dia memiliki minyak as roda yang tertanam di bawah kuku jarinya
On the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo
Di lengannya ada tato merah
A picture of a heart saying “Mother, I love you”
Sebuah gambar hati berkata “Ibu, aku cinta kamu”

He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou
Dia punya pacar cantik bernama Mary Lou
But he treated her just like he treated all the rest
Tapi dia memperlakukannya seperti dia memperlakukan semua yang lain
And everybody pitied her and everybody knew
Dan semua orang mengasihani dia dan semua orang tahu
He loved that doggone motorcycle best

He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
Dia mengenakan celana denim hitam dan sepatu bot motor
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
Dan jaket kulit hitam dengan elang di bagian belakang
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun

That fool was the terror of Highway 101

Mary Lou, gadis malang, dia memohon dan dia memintanya untuk tidak pergi
She said “I've got a feeling if you ride tonight I'll grieve”
Dia berkata “Saya punya perasaan jika Anda naik malam ini saya akan bersedih”
But her tears were shed in vain and her every word was lost
Tapi air matanya ditumpahkan sia-sia dan setiap kata hilang
In the rumble of an engine and the smoke from his exhaust
Dalam gemuruh mesin dan asap dari knalpotnya

: Then he took off like the Devil and there was fire in his eyes!! He
: Lalu dia berangkat seperti Iblis dan ada api di matanya !! Dia

And they never found the terror of High way 1 oh 1
