Dirty Back Road Lyrics
Reckless drivin', like a sports car
God I want you, like a fuel engine
Energized line, like a road
You ride me
Like a road
You ride me
Foot on the peddle
Feet in the air
Sand in my hair
Oh, don't look back
Don't look behind you
Reckless drivin' on
Dirty back Road
Reckless drivin', like a sports car
God I want you, like a fuel engine
Energized line, like a road
You ride me
Like a road
You ride me
Foot on the peddle
Feet in the air
Sand in my hair
Oh, don't look back
Don't look behind you
Reckless drivin' on
Dirty back Road
God I want you, like a fuel engine
Energized line, like a road
You ride me
Like a road
You ride me
Feet in the air
Sand in my hair
Don't look behind you
Reckless drivin' on
Dirty back Road
God I want you, like a fuel engine
Energized line, like a road
You ride me
Like a road
You ride me
Feet in the air
Sand in my hair
Don't look behind you
Reckless drivin' on
Dirty back Road

I'm pretty sure it's "Reckless driving". And yes, since the song was written by a band where all the male members are gay, I'd say it's safe to conjecture that the song is indeed an extended metaphor for gay (anal) sex. The B's love their double entendres! But it's a great song at face value. Sad, wistful, and erotic all at once. It's about how attraction can make you lose your common sense, like an out of control car.
@chris10833 Nicely put. I've been a fan of the B-52s since the 80s, but I never heard thsi song till a few years ago, and yeah, it's one of their best. There's a deep, slow burning eroticism to it. Yeah, it's kind of sad, ultimately, knowing what happened.

It's not "Ricky Wilson"... it's "reckless..."
@IDs_Ego THANK YOU! God. It's not Ricky Wilson; HE'S THE GUY WHO WROTE IT; it's not "breakfast", it's not "brake fast", it's not "Brexit". It's, yeah, RECKLESS. Reckless driving. Reckless driving on a dirty back road. It's a metaphor for bareback anal sex. The song has a bitter irony because Ricky died of AIDS several years after penning the song.

one word: barebacking!
Are there any other songs, by anyone, with lyrics that consist solely of 2 identical verses? OTTOMH, Another Brick in the Wall Part II comes close, though the verses (actually 2 verses and 2 choruses) are slightly different, and sung by different people (Roger Waters, and the kids' choir).
I'd like to drive down Kates dirty back road.
Sorry.
It's what we're all thinking though.

@cpw4901 It is. It is "reckless".
@cpw4901 It is. It is "reckless".
One of my favourites regardless
This song is clearly just about the innocent pleasure of driving a car.
B52s using double-entendres, in their songs??
Surely not!!
And while we're at it.. B52s Gay???!!?? what are people on!!
God-fearing straight-laced innocents every last one of them. God bless them.
Came on here to find out if the first word was Breakfast or Reckless.
