Motor Kine

about

Imagine 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.

lyrics

Dusty roads through the canyon gorge
Like a bullet baby how we run
Steer me babe with a gentle hand
On into that old boy sun

I am your Motor Kine
I know you've seen me riding
Greased back I shine like lighting
Leg up mamma and take a ride

Dusty roads through the canyon gorge
Like a bullet baby how we run
Steer me babe with a gentle hand
On into that old boy sun

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

Race down the pacific ocean
Run down those Mexico sands
Just for nothing babe, just cause I want to
Gonna fly all across these lands

Motor Kine don't take low octane
Get yourself out and buy me some premium fuel
Motor Kine don't run on that cheap stuff
Ease your hand mamma, keep me cool

Race down the pacific ocean
Run down those Mexico sands
Just for nothing babe, just cause I want to
Gonna fly all across these lands
