[00:00:00] Uneasy Rider '88 - The Charlie Daniels Band [00:00:10] Me and my buddy got us a wild hair [00:00:12] And figured we wanted to go somewhere [00:00:14] So we loaded up in my ragtop Chevrolet [00:00:18] We had a little bit of money [00:00:20] And a whole lot of show [00:00:21] Adn with Hank Jr blaring on the radio [00:00:23] We got us a tank full of gas [00:00:24] And we was on our way [00:00:27] We figured we'd go down to New Orleans [00:00:29] We were barrelling down old seventeen [00:00:32] When a man with a blinking red light [00:00:34] Was on our tail [00:00:36] He said you were doing sixty in a fourty-five [00:00:38] But I'm gonna let you go this time [00:00:40] But if I catch you again [00:00:42] I'm gonna slap you in the county jail [00:00:45] We said thank you sir you sure been nice [00:00:47] And you ain't gonna have to tell us twice [00:00:49] And we were Southbound and down with the wind [00:00:51] Blowing in our faces [00:00:54] We kept on rolling and pretty soon [00:00:56] The radio was cooking out a Haggard tune [00:00:58] And we were pulling into Houston [00:01:00] Checking out all them places [00:01:03] I was feeling dry and I said I think [00:01:05] We ought to stop and get ourselves a drink [00:01:07] And old Jim said yeah 'cause we got time to kill [00:01:12] We kept on rolling and I seen this spot [00:01:14] And we pulled into the parking lot [00:01:16] Of this place called the Cloud Nine Bar and Grill [00:01:21] We walked through the door [00:01:22] And the place was jammed [00:01:23] The lights were low they had a punk rock band [00:01:25] And some orange haired feller singing about suicide [00:01:30] I said Jim this ain't our kind of place [00:01:32] He said well let's just have one round anyway [00:01:34] So against my better judgement we walked on inside [00:01:39] Went up to the bar and we sat down [00:01:41] This feller walked up and said I'll buy this round [00:01:43] And he sat down on the barstool next to Jim [00:01:48] He looked like a girl but he talked like a guy [00:01:50] He had lipstick on and mascara in his eyes [00:01:52] And everybody in that place looked just about like him [00:01:56] I said Jim this ain't our kind of bar [00:01:59] Let's just go on out and get back in the car [00:02:01] 'Cause there's gonna be trouble [00:02:02] Ain't no sense in taking a chance [00:02:06] We was getting up getting ready to leave [00:02:08] When somebody grabbed old Jim by the sleeve [00:02:10] And this good looking girl was asking my buddy to dance [00:02:15] I said Jim don't do it there's something missing [00:02:17] There's fellers dancing and fellers kissing [00:02:19] There's a feller in high heeled shoes wearing panty hose [00:02:23] He said partner I just can't turn this down [00:02:26] You just go over there and have one more round [00:02:28] And I'll dance with the lady [00:02:29] And we'll get on down the road [00:02:32] So he walked away and left me alone [00:02:34] But this funny looking feller kept coming on [00:02:36] And he was making me mad [00:02:38] With some of the things he said [00:02:41] Then he put his hand on my knee [00:02:43] I said if you don't get your paw off me [00:02:46] I'm gonna locate your nose around [00:02:47] The other side of your head [00:02:50] He said I love it when you get that fire in your eye [00:02:53] I said well partner try this on for size [00:02:55] And I unloaded on him and he went out like a light [00:02:59] Everybody in that place must have been his friend [00:03:01] They all headed for me I said this is the end [00:03:04] But where I come from we don't give up [00:03:06] Without a fight [00:03:08] They were screaming and yelling and scratching and clawing [00:03:10] I was punching and hitting and kicking and pawing [00:03:13] I was holding my own 'cause I've been in a scrap or two [00:03:17] Old Jim come running up out of the blue [00:03:19] And that gal he was with come running up too [00:03:21] And proceeded to beat on me with a high heel shoe
