The Charlie Daniels Band - Uneasy rider 88

^AMe and my buddy got us a wild hair And ^Dfigured we wanted to go somewhere So we ^Eloaded up in my ragtop Chevrole^At ^AWe had a little bit of money ^AAnd a whole lot of show And with H^Dank Jr. blaring on the radio We got us a ^Etank full of gas And we was on our wa^Ay

^AWe figured we'd go down to New Orleans We were ^Dbarrelling down old 17 When a ^Eman with a blinking red light Was on our tai^Al ^AHe said you were doing 60 in a 45 But ^DI'm gonna let you go this time But if I ^Ecatch you again I'm gonna slap you in the county jail^A

^AWe said thank you sir you sure been nice And you ^Dain't gonna have to tell us twice And we were ^ESouthbound and down with the wind Blowing in our ^Afaces ^AWe kept on rolling and pretty soon The ^Dradio was cooking out a Haggard tune And we were ^Epulling into Houston Checking out all them ^Aplaces

^AI was feeling dry and I said I think We ought to ^Dstop and get ourselves a drink And old ^EJim said yeah 'cause we got time to ^Akill ^AWe kept on rolling and I seen this spot And we ^Dpulled into the parking lot Of this ^Eplace called the Cloud Nine Bar and ^AGrill

^AWe walked through the door And the place was jammed The ^Dlights were low they had a punk rock band And some ^Eorange haired feller singing about ^Asuicide I said ^AJim this ain't our kind of place He said well ^Dlet's just have one round anyway So ^Eagainst my better judgement we walked on in^Aside ^AWent up to the bar and we sat down This ^Dfeller walked up and said I'll buy this round And he ^Esat down on the barstool next to ^AJim

^AHe looked like a girl but he talked like a guy He had ^Dlipstick on and mascara in his eyes And every^Ebody in that place looked just about like ^Ahim I said ^AJim this ain't our kind of bar Let's just ^Dgo on out and get back in the car 'Cause there's ^Egonna be trouble Ain't no sense in taking a ^Achance We was ^Agetting up getting ready to leave When some^Dbody grabbed old Jim by the sleeve And this ^Egood looking girl was asking my buddy to ^Adance

I said ^AJim don't do it there's something missing There's ^Dfellers dancing and fellers kissing There's a ^Efeller in high heeled shoes wearing panty ^Ahose He said ^Apartner I just can't turn this down You just ^Dgo over there and have one more round And ^EI'll dance with the lady And we'll get on down the ^Aroad

So he ^Awalked away and left me alone But this ^Dfunny looking feller kept coming on And he was ^Emaking me mad with some of the things he ^Asaid Then he ^Aput his hand on my knee I said if ^Dyou don't get your paw off me I'm gonna ^Elocate your nose around The other side of your ^Ahead

He said I ^Alove it when you get that fire in your eye I said well ^Dpartner try this on for size And I ^Eunloaded on him and he went out like a ^Alight Every^Abody in that place must have been his friend They all ^Dheaded for me I said this is the end But where ^EI come from we don't give up Without a ^Afight

They were ^Ascreaming and yelling and scratching and clawing I was ^Dpunching and hitting and kicking and pawing I was ^Eholding my own 'cause I've been in a scrap or ^Atwo Old ^AJim come running up out of the blue And that ^Dgal he was with come running up too And ^Eproceeded to beat on me with a high heel ^Ashoe

I ^Agrabbed her by the hair it came off in my hand And that ^Dbeautiful girl was just a beautiful man And ^Eold Jim just got sick right there on the ^Afloor He ^Adropped that dude like a shot from a gun Smeared his ^Dlipstick made his makeup run And ^Eme and old Jim started fighting our way to the ^Adoor

We ^Alit out of there in that Chevrolet I ^Dput in on the floor and it stayed that way We were ^Egoing down the highway Doing about a hundred and ^Aten We were ^Aheaded for home and we was getting nearer Then a ^Dred light came on the rear view mirror And that ^Esame blame cop was pulling us over ^Aagain

Now I'm ^Asitting here in this county jail I had to ^Dcall my daddy to go our bail But I ^Elearned me a lesson That I never will forget ^Aagain I've done ^Agive up drinking I've give up bars And ^Drunning around the country in souped up cars To be ^Eback where the women are women And the men are ^Amen
