What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I was takin' a trip out to LA,
2
Toolin' along in my Chevrolet
3
Tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio
4
Jes' as I cross the Mississippi line
5
I heard that highway start to whine
6
And I knew that left rear tire was about to go
7
Well the spare was flat and I got uptight
8
'Cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight
9
So I jes' limped down the shoulder on the rim
10
I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
11
It was right in front of this little bar
12
A kind of a redneck lookin' joint called the Dew Drop Inn
13
Well I stuffed my hair up under my hat
14
And told the bartender that I had a flat
15
And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one
16
There was one thing I was sure proud to see
17
There wasn't a soul in the place 'cept for him an' me
18
And he just looked disgusted an' pointed toward the telephone
19
I called up the station down the road a ways
20
And he said he wasn't very busy t'day
21
And he could have somebody there in jest 'bout ten minutes or so
22
He said now you jes' stay right where yer at and I didn't bother
23
Tellin' the durn fool
24
I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go
25
I jes ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
26
When some guy walked in an' said who owns this car
27
With the peace sign the mag wheels and four on the floor
28
Well he looked at me and I damn near died
29
And I decided that I'd jus wait outside
30
So I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door
31
Jes' when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin
32
These five big dude come strollin' in
33
With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth
34
An' I was almost to the door when the biggest one
35
Said you tip your hat to this lady son
36
An' when I did all that hair fell out from underneath
37
Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
38
In Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night
39
'Specially when there was three of them and only one of me
40
Well they all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick
41
And I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick
42
So I jes' reached out an' kicked ol' green-teeth right in the knee
43
He let out a yell that'd curl your hair
44
But before he could move I grabbed me a chair
45
And said watch him folks 'cause he's a thouroughly dangerous man
46
Well you may not know it but this man's a spy
47
He's an undercover agent for the FBI
48
And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan
49
He was still bent over holdin' on to his knee
50
But everyone else was lookin' and listenin' to me
51
And I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went
52
I said would you beleive this man has gone as far
53
As tearin' Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
54
And he voted for George McGoveren for president
55
Well he's a friend of them long-haired hippie type pinko fags
56
I betcha he's even got a Commie flag
57
Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage
58
He's a snake in the grass I tell ya guys
59
He may look dumb but that's jus a disguise
60
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage
61
They all started lookin' real suspicious at him
62
And he jumped up an' said jes' wait a minute Jim
63
You know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life
64
I'm a faithfull follower of Brother John Burch
65
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church
66
And I ain't even got a garage you can call home and ask my wife
67
Then he started sayin' somethin' 'bout the way I was dressed
68
But I didn't wait around to hear the rest
69
I was too busy movin' and hopin' I didn't run outta luck
70
And when I hit the ground I was makin' tracks
71
And they were jes' takin' my car down off the jacks
72
So I threw the man a twenty an' jumped in an' fired that mother up
73
Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud
74
Of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd
75
Comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot
76
An' I guess I shoulda gone ahead an' run
77
But somehow I couldn't resist the fun
78
Of chasin' them jes' once around the parkin' lot
79
Well they're headin' for their car but I hit the gas
80
And spun around and headed them off at the pass
81
Well I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air
82
Well I had them all out there steppin' an' a fetchin'
83
Like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin'
84
But I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there
85
When I hit the road I was really wheelin'
86
Had gravel flyin' and rubber squeelin'
87
An' I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas
88
I think I'm gonna re-route my trip
89
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped
90
If I went to LA via Omaha!
