You'll Be All Right Tonight, Sister Christian

nightranger

Sister Christian, oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one to say O.K.
Where you going
What you looking for
You know those boys don't want to play no more with you
It's true

You're motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight

Babe you know you're growing up so fast
And mama's worrying
That you won't last to say let's play
Sister Christian
There's so much in life
nr_logo_big
Don't you give it up before your time is due
It's true
It's true … yeah

Motoring
What's your price for flight
You've got him in your sight
And driving thru the night
Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight

Sister Christian
Oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one to say O.K.
But you're motoring
You're motoring

-- “Sister Christian” by Night Ranger

The Imbiber says: Admittedly, I fuckin’ love rockin’ out to “Sister Christian.” There’s nothing quite like being in a crowded bar, thrusting your fist – while clenching a tall, cool Budweiser – into the air and shouting “Motoring” at the top of your lungs … and knowing that everyone is with you. But what does Night Ranger mean by “motoring,” exactly? Is it a euphemism? If Sister Christian is literally driving somewhere, where is she going and why? Is she actually a nun? That’s creepy, right? Can someone explain this song to me, please?
