She rides a Steed of Steel (with the rubber side down)

This song was authored/created by me as a follow-on project after completing my Neil Young cover music-video titled: "Unknown Legends", which was posted here on the Nation a week or so ago.
It was created using a simple homemade 3 string dog bowl guitar + an old $20.00 resale shop Casio keyboard (for drum rhythm backing) and mixed in a 10+ year old freeware Audacity audio editing program on a windows 10 PC.

Thanks for the feedback AGP, 

Here's the background story related to me creating this music-video in the first place: Upon seeing my earlier "Unknown Legend" cover music-video creation, my oldest granddaughter shortly afterward made the remark to me over the phone that she could not find any motorcycle girl songs where the girls grew up strong by over-coming their childhood difficulties - and further remarked that someone should write songs about strong motorcycle girls . . .so, 3 hours later, I had composed this "strong motorcycle girl" song on paper - and over the course of the next week invested the time to record it; but it gets very up-front real when you have to move forward and put actual images to such difficult teenager situations that those grow up "strong-motorcycle-girl" words you wrote were expressing within the song.

The #1 "break my heart" image to me in composing that entire video was (and still is) @ 1:04 into the video - where that young girl was huddled in the corner recess of a brick building in an alley-way trying to keep warm in freezing temps with frozen water sitting on top of that blue plastic storage bin next to her - Upon seeing it (if I would have been the one taking that photo - she would have been immediately rescued out of that alleyway and situation), I can't help but think that somewhere - there has got to be a set of grandparents who are absolutely beside themselves worried-sick about their grandchild in that picture, and would drop everything at a moment's notice to immediately come and rescue their grandchild from this situation - if they only knew where she was at . . . anyway - I ramble . . .
