Kick It OutHeart

Released: May 14, 1977

Songwriter: Ann Wilson

Producer: Mike Flicker

Out of the street, you better get on home
Tail shaking filly running on her own
They say she got loose on the night she was born
Cranking it up in a school zone

Kick it out
Come on, kick it out
She said kick out your motor and drive while you're still alive
Kick it out

Sitting in a bar in a seaside town
Sweet little love getting high, getting down
Well, sailors see her running along the beach
Laugh and jump out of reach
Wild music blowing in her mane
She needs a bareback rider, won't give her no pain
A hard racy game of give and take
She never plays half-crazed in her wake

Kick it out
She said kick it out. Come on, come on
Kick out your motor and drive while you're still alive
Kick it out
Oooh, yeah. Kick it out
Come on, kick out your motor and drive while you're still alive
Kick it out. Woo!

(Guitar solo)

Ooooooh, she said kick it out
Ah, kick out your motor and drive while you're still alive
Kick it out
Oooh, yeah. Oh, oh, oh
Kick out your motor and drive while you're still alive
Kick it out
Oooh. Oooh, oooh, yeah

Heart

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
