LyricsI am your Motor Kine, I know you’ve seen me ridingGreased back I shine like lighting, leg up mamma and take a ride

Dusty roads through the canyon gorgeLike a bullet baby how we runSteer me babe with a gentle handOn into that old boy sun

Your desert is of the rarest beauty, I’ve never seen the likeYour sands they give me my water, Your sun keeps me alive

Race down the pacific oceanRun down those Mexico sandsJust for nothing babe, just cause I want toGonna fly all across these lands

Motor Kine don’t take low octaneGet yourself out and buy me some premium fuelMotor Kine don’t run on that cheap stuffEase your hand mamma, keep me cool

Race down the pacific oceanRun down those Mexico sandsJust for nothing babe, just cause I want toGonna fly all across these lands

About the SongImagine a Jeep Cherokee packed with close friends and surfboards deep in Baja, 2 hours south of Ensenada, Mexico. We embarked on a strategic strike mission to score the surf of a lifetime. In the distance, coming up fast in the rear view mirror is a huge dust cloud. We pulled off and looked back in awe as 2 super trucks and a few other race vehicles passed us by. It’s Baja 1000 season, the annual race is coming up and preparations are in order.

Every time I sing the chorus, it transports me back to that trip and the countless other excursions into San Diego’s backyard and spiritual cousin, Baja Mexico.

About the Live Video:As with previous shows, I’ve released a song a week until the complete show is uploaded and archived on Substack. This concert is being released in support of the new single “Perpetual Change” (released on November 8, 2024). We started video taping and recording our live shows consistently in 2023, when I took over the live sound. Prior to that the recording sound quality was a bit spotty.
