Speeding motorcycle, won’t you change me?

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/daniel_johnston/speeding_motorcycle_crd.html )
Speeding motorcycle of my heart
Speeding motorcycle; always changing me
Speeding motorcycle, don’t you drive recklessly
Speeding motorcycle of my heart
Pretty girls have taken you for a ride
Hurt you deep inside but you never slowed down

Speeding motorcycle in my heart
Speeding motorcycle, let’s speed smart

‘Cause we don’t want to wreck but
We can do a lot of tricks
We don’t have to break our necks
To get our kicks

Speeding motorcycle, the road is ours
Speeding motorcycle, let’s speed some more

‘Cause we don’t need reason and we don’t need logic
We’ve got feeling and we’re dang proud of it

Speeding motorcycle, there’s nothing you can’t do
Speeding motorcycle, I love you
Speeding motorcycle, let’s just go
Speeding motorcycle
Let’s go let’s go let’s go
Oo oo

Intro: C, Am, C, Am

You have a sweet heart sweetheart
You have a nice face baby
You drove me crazy
Down Lovers Lane
Its close to pain this love I have for you
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/daniel_johnston/sweetheart_crd.html )
I cannot tame my desire for you
And when we start to pet
Dont forget I love you
Oh my love take my hand were walking
The moon and stars are singing in the sky
And everyone I know must be jealous
Cause they dont have such a love as I
You are my sweetheart sweetheart
You are my baby baby
You drove me crazy
Down Lovers Lane
I cant explain this love I have for you

I cannot tame my desire for you
And when we start to pet
Dont forget I love you
And when we start to pet
G C G, C, G, C
Dont forget I love you

When I was born in ?61
They already had a hit

And they worked so hard
And they made it Joe

And so on?
