She ain't waiting 'til she gets older
Her feet are making tracks in the winter snows
She got a rainbow that touches her shoulder
She be headed where the thunder rolls

Ah, ah, ah
She got rhythm
Got that rhythm, of the road
Ah, ah, ah
She get crazy
Woman get crazy if she can't go
Ah but ah, she just looking good

She comes like the secret wind
Shes as strong as the mountains, walks tall as a tree
She been there before, she'll never give in
She'll be gone tomorrow like the silent breeze

Ah, ah, ah
She got rhythm
Got that rhythm, of the road
Ah, ah, ah
She get crazy
She get crazy if she can't go
Ah but ah, she just looking good

You know how sometimes, you got to rush
You're running blind, but she jumps the gun
Question is, not does love exist, but when, she leaves, where she goes
I got a feeling she don't know either
Wait like the wind, watch where she blows

[solo]

Oh, oh, got that rhythm
That sweet rhythm, of the road
Oh, oh, oh she get crazy
Woman get crazy, if she can't go
Oh, oh a looking good
Ah yes!

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
