Uneasy Rider '88 - The Charlie Daniels Band[00:00:00]
Me and my buddy got us a wild hair[00:00:10]
And figured we wanted to go somewhere[00:00:12]
So we loaded up in my ragtop Chevrolet[00:00:14]
We had a little bit of money[00:00:18]
And a whole lot of show[00:00:20]
Adn with Hank Jr blaring on the radio[00:00:21]
We got us a tank full of gas[00:00:23]
And we was on our way[00:00:24]
We figured we'd go down to New Orleans[00:00:27]
We were barrelling down old seventeen[00:00:29]
When a man with a blinking red light[00:00:32]
Was on our tail[00:00:34]
He said you were doing sixty in a fourty-five[00:00:36]
But I'm gonna let you go this time[00:00:38]
But if I catch you again[00:00:40]
I'm gonna slap you in the county jail[00:00:42]
We said thank you sir you sure been nice[00:00:45]
And you ain't gonna have to tell us twice[00:00:47]
And we were Southbound and down with the wind[00:00:49]
Blowing in our faces[00:00:51]
We kept on rolling and pretty soon[00:00:54]
The radio was cooking out a Haggard tune[00:00:56]
And we were pulling into Houston[00:00:58]
Checking out all them places[00:01:00]
I was feeling dry and I said I think[00:01:03]
We ought to stop and get ourselves a drink[00:01:05]
And old Jim said yeah 'cause we got time to kill[00:01:07]
We kept on rolling and I seen this spot[00:01:12]
And we pulled into the parking lot[00:01:14]
Of this place called the Cloud Nine Bar and Grill[00:01:16]
We walked through the door[00:01:21]
And the place was jammed[00:01:22]
The lights were low they had a punk rock band[00:01:23]
And some orange haired feller singing about suicide[00:01:25]
I said Jim this ain't our kind of place[00:01:30]
He said well let's just have one round anyway[00:01:32]
So against my better judgement we walked on inside[00:01:34]
Went up to the bar and we sat down[00:01:39]
This feller walked up and said I'll buy this round[00:01:41]
And he sat down on the barstool next to Jim[00:01:43]
He looked like a girl but he talked like a guy[00:01:48]
He had lipstick on and mascara in his eyes[00:01:50]
And everybody in that place looked just about like him[00:01:52]
I said Jim this ain't our kind of bar[00:01:56]
Let's just go on out and get back in the car[00:01:59]
'Cause there's gonna be trouble[00:02:01]
Ain't no sense in taking a chance[00:02:02]
We was getting up getting ready to leave[00:02:06]
When somebody grabbed old Jim by the sleeve[00:02:08]
And this good looking girl was asking my buddy to dance[00:02:10]
I said Jim don't do it there's something missing[00:02:15]
There's fellers dancing and fellers kissing[00:02:17]
There's a feller in high heeled shoes wearing panty hose[00:02:19]
He said partner I just can't turn this down[00:02:23]
You just go over there and have one more round[00:02:26]
And I'll dance with the lady[00:02:28]
And we'll get on down the road[00:02:29]
So he walked away and left me alone[00:02:32]
But this funny looking feller kept coming on[00:02:34]
And he was making me mad[00:02:36]
With some of the things he said[00:02:38]
Then he put his hand on my knee[00:02:41]
I said if you don't get your paw off me[00:02:43]
I'm gonna locate your nose around[00:02:46]
The other side of your head[00:02:47]
He said I love it when you get that fire in your eye[00:02:50]
I said well partner try this on for size[00:02:53]
And I unloaded on him and he went out like a light[00:02:55]
Everybody in that place must have been his friend[00:02:59]
They all headed for me I said this is the end[00:03:01]
But where I come from we don't give up[00:03:04]
Without a fight[00:03:06]
They were screaming and yelling and scratching and clawing[00:03:08]
I was punching and hitting and kicking and pawing[00:03:10]
I was holding my own 'cause I've been in a scrap or two[00:03:13]
Old Jim come running up out of the blue[00:03:17]
And that gal he was with come running up too[00:03:19]
And proceeded to beat on me with a high heel shoe[00:03:21]
I grabbed her by the hair it came off in my hand[00:03:26]
And that beautiful girl was just a beautiful man[00:03:28]
And old Jim just got sick right there on the floor[00:03:31]
He dropped that dude like a shot from a gun[00:03:35]
Smeared his lipstick made his makeup run[00:03:37]
And me and old Jim started fighting our way to the door[00:03:40]
We lit out of there in that Chevrolet[00:03:44]
I put in on the floor and it stayed that way[00:03:46]
We were going down the highway[00:03:49]
Doing about a hundred and ten[00:03:50]
We were headed for home and we was getting nearer[00:03:53]
Then a red light came on the rear view mirror[00:03:55]
And that same blame cop was pulling us over again[00:03:58]
Now I'm sitting here in this county jail[00:04:02]
I had to call my daddy to go our bail[00:04:04]
But I learned me a lesson[00:04:07]
That I never will forget again[00:04:08]
I've done give up drinking I've give up bars[00:04:11]
And running around the country in souped up cars[00:04:13]
I'm going back where the women are women[00:04:16]
And the men are men[00:04:17]
