Now Louise she is an outlaw
In the year of seventy one
She's got Levi bells and long straight hair
She's got a Delta hypo gun
Her folks they didn't understand why she
Couldn't get her homework done (M-m-m)
Her father is a preacher
Her mother's an ex-nun

Now Louise she likes to boogie
Down at the old ballroom
She's got a crazy hophead boyfriend
Digs freon balloon
They ride on his Harley from the morning
'Til the late afternoon (Oh yeah)
They get stoned in the evening
And make love beneath the moon

Now the old folks who are listenin'
Prob'ly think this song's obscene
Say your children aren't like that
Say my words are way off theme
Well Louise she's just an average
Product of the American dream (Ah yeah)
I concede she's kind of naive but (Uh)
After all she's only thirteen (Oh yeah)

Ride on Louise ride on, ride on
Oh yeah ooh yeah
Keep on riding keep on riding (O oh)
