Robert Earl Keen, Jr. (born January 11, 1956 in Houston, Texas) is an American singer-songwriter. Growing up, Keen was interested in music, sports, movies and writing. He attended Texas A&M University, enrolling in the school of journalism. Disappointed in the College Station, Texas music scene, he began playing guitar and learned to read and write music, basing his style on folk, country, blues and roots rock. In 1977 he rented a house from landlord Jack Boyett, where his neighbor was a then-unknown Lyle Lovett.

GCG Said Red Molly to James That's a fine motorbike A girl could feel special on any Such Like GCG Says James to Red Molly My hat's off to You That's a Vincent Black Lightning 1952 DCGDCG And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems Red hair and black leather my favorite color scheme AmCG And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride
GCG Said James to Red Molly Here's a ring for your right hand But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man GCG For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine DCGDCG Now I'm 21 years old I might not make 22 Don't mind dying but for the love of you AmCG And if fate should break my stride Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride
GCG Come down come down Red Molly said Sergeant McRae For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery GCG Shotgun blast to the chest left nothing inside Oh come down Red Molly to his dying bedside DCGDCG When she got to the hospital there wasn't much left He was running out of road he was running out of breath AmCG But he smiled to see her cry Said I'll give you my Vincent to ride
GCG Said James In my opinion there's nothing in this world Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl GCG No Nortons and Indians and Greeves's won't do They don't have a soul like a Vincent 52 DCGDCG And he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys Said I've got no further use of these DCGDCG I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome Swooping down from heaven to carry me home AmCC And he gave her one last kiss and died CCG And he gave her his Vincent to ride
