[ti:Uneasy Rider] [ar:The Charlie Daniels Band] [al:A Decade Of Hits] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Uneasy Rider - The Charlie Daniels Band [00:11.09]I was takin' a trip out to L A [00:13.79]Toolin' along in my Chevrolet [00:16.68]O [00:17.37]O [00:21.37]Just as I crossed the Mississippi line [00:23.55]I heard that highway start to whine [00:26.11]Go [00:26.49]Go [00:28.25]Well the spare was flat and I got uptight [00:33.18]'Cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight [00:36.17]So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim [00:40.93]I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car [00:43.79]It was right in front of this little bar [00:45.78]Kind of redneck lookin' joint called the Dew Drop Inn [00:50.61]Well I stuffed my hair up under my hat [00:52.60]And told the bartender that I had a flat [00:54.24]And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one [00:56.88]There was one thing I was sure proud to see [01:00.62]There wasn't a soul in the place 'cept for him and me [01:03.86]And he just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone [01:10.54]I called up the station down the road a ways [01:13.10]And he said he wasn't very busy today [01:15.03]And he could have somebody there in just 'bout ten minutes or so [01:19.97]He said now you just stay right where you're at [01:22.77]And I didn't bother tellin' the durn fool [01:25.35]I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go [01:30.43]I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar [01:32.88]When some guy walked in and said; "Who owns this car [01:35.20]With the peace sign the mag wheels and four on the floor " [01:40.58]Well he looked at me and I damn near died [01:42.75]And I decided that I'd just wait outside [01:44.69]So I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door [01:50.75]Just when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin [01:52.99]These five big dudes come strollin' in [01:55.48]With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth [02:00.66]And I was almost to the door when the biggest one [02:02.87]Said; "You tip your hat to this lady son " [02:04.74]And when I did all that hair fell out from underneath [02:10.67]Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight [02:13.03]In Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night [02:14.73]'Specially when there was three of them and only one of me [02:17.92]They all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick [02:22.81]And I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick [02:24.88]So I just reached out and kicked old green-teeth right in the knee [02:28.88]He let out a yell that'd curl your hair [02:32.89]But before he could move I grabbed me a chair [02:35.45]And said; "Watch him folks 'cause he's a thouroughly dangerous man " [02:40.45]"Well you may not know it but this man's a spy [02:43.12]He's an undercover agent for the FBI [02:45.32]And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan " [02:50.50]He was still bent over holdin' on to his knee [02:52.87]But everyone else was lookin' and listenin' to me [02:55.29]And I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went [03:00.06]I said; "Would you beleive this man has gone as far [03:02.92]As tearin' Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars [03:05.61]And he voted for George McGovern for president " [03:07.80]"He's a friend of them long-haired hippie type pinko fags [03:11.91]I betcha he's even got a Commie flag [03:15.71]Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage [03:19.03]He's a snake in the grass I tell ya guys [03:23.03]He may look dumb but that's just a disguise [03:25.72]He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage " [03:30.67]They all started lookin' real suspicious at him [03:33.22]And he jumped up an' said; "Now just wait a minute Jim [03:36.34]You know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life " [03:40.58]"I'm a faithfull follower of Brother John Birch [03:42.39]And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church [03:45.58]And I ain't even got a garage you can call home and ask my wife " [03:50.45]Then he started sayin' somethin' 'bout the way I was dressed [03:53.00]But I didn't wait around to hear the rest [03:55.31]I was too busy movin' and hopin' I didn't run outta luck [03:57.93]And when I hit the ground I was makin' tracks [04:02.05]And they were just takin' my car down off the jacks [04:08.10]So I threw the man a twenty an' jumped in an' fired that mother up [04:16.34]Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud [04:18.60]Of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd [04:27.87]Comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot [04:30.69]And I guess I should-a gone ahead and run [04:32.61]But somehow I couldn't resist the fun [04:34.36]Of chasin' them all just once around the parkin' lot [04:36.67]Well they're headin' for their car but I hit the gas [04:38.98]And spun around and headed them off at the pass [04:41.04]I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air [04:43.78]Ha Ha well I had 'em all out there steppin' and fetchin' [04:46.15]Like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin' [04:48.34]But I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there [04:51.22]When I hit the road I was really wheelin' [04:53.47]Had gravel flyin' and rubber squeelin' [04:55.85]And I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas [04:58.47]Well I think I'm gonna re-route my trip [05:03.14]I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped [05:06.83]If I went to L A - via Omaha [05:08.65]From: "Nancy Wood" brooksie2
