This could be the absolute

This could be the absolute best song to listen to while spending a cool, rainy afternoon in a garage / shop working on your motorcycle or car. The tone is wistful, his guitar work is gorgeous, and it brings a lump to my throat every time I listen to it.

Said James, “In my opinion, there’s nothing in this world
Beats a ‘52 Vincent and a Redheaded girl.
Now Nortons and Indians and Greavses won’t do.
Oh, they don’t have a Soul like a Vincent ‘52.”
Well he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys.
He said, “I’ve got no further use…for these.
I see Angels on Ariels in leather and chrome,
Swoopin’ down from Heaven to carry me home.”
And he gave her one last kiss and died.
And he gave her his Vincent.
To Ride.
