[Dm] _ [C] _ _ _ I was taking a trip out to L.A.
[F] Too little long in my Chevrolet, I [G] was toking on the number and digging on the [C] radio.
_ And as I crossed that Mississippi line, [F] I heard that highway start to [G] whine.
Knew that left rear tire was just [C] about to go.
_ Well, the spare was flat and I got up [F] tight, cause there wasn't a filling station in sight.
[G] So I just limped on down the shoulder on the [C] ramp.
_ _ Went as far as I could and wanted to stop the [F] car.
It was right in front of this little bar, [G] kind of redneck looking joint called the [C] Dew Drop Inn.
_ I stuffed all my hair up under my hat and [F] went and told the bartender I'd had a plan.
[G] Would he be kind enough to give me a change [C] for a one?
Well, that was one thing I was sure proud [F] to see.
They want a soul in the place except for him and me and he [G] just looked disgusted.
Wanted to throw the [C] telephone.
_ I called up a station down the road a ways and [F] said, well, we ain't very busy today.
We [G] can have somebody there in just about ten minutes [C] or so.
_ He said, now you just stay right where you're at.
I [F] didn't bother to tell the darn fool that I [G] sure as hell didn't have any place else [C] to go. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[C] _ _ I just ordered a beer and sat down at the bar and [F] some guy walked in and said,
who owns [Bm] that car with the gun racks and the mag wheels [C] and four on the floor?
_ Well, he looked at me and I damn near [Fm] died and I decided that I'd just wait [G] outside.
So I laid a dollar on the bar and I headed for the door.
[Bb] _ [C] Just when I thought I was going to get out of there with my skin,
these five [F] big dudes come strolling in with [G] this one old drunk chick and something fell out of her green [C] teeth.
_ I was almost to the door when the biggest one said, [F] you tip your hat to this lady, [Em] son.
And when I did, [D] all that [Gm] hair fell [C] out from underneath.
_ _ Now, the last thing I wanted was to get in the fight.
Jackson, Mississippi on a Saturday night, especially when it [Eb] was six [C] of them and only one of me.
_ _ They all [Cm] started laughing and I got a [C] little sick.
I knew I better think of something pretty quick, so I just reached [D] out and kicked [C] old green teeth right in the knee.
_ _ He let out a yell [Cm] that'll curl your hair, but before he could move, I grabbed me a chair and said,
watch [Gm] him, folks.
[Cm] He's a thoroughly dangerous man.
_ [C] _ You may not know it, but this man's a spy.
He's an undercover agent for the FBI and he's been sitting down here to infiltrate the Q-Club's claim.
_ _ And he was still bent over holding on to his knee, but everybody else is looking and listening to me
and I just [Eb] laid an old [C] sticker in a heavy area.
So I went, _ I said, would you [Gm] believe this [C] man has gone as far as tearing Regan stickers off the bumpers of cars
and he [D] voted for [Cm] Jimmy Carter for president?
[C] _ He's a friend of them [Cm] long-haired hippie-type, pink old fags.
I bet you he's even got a comic flag tacked [Dm] up on the [Cm] wall inside of his garage.
_ He's snaking to [C] grass, I can tell you [Cm] guys, and he may look dumb, but that's just a [G] disguise.
He's a mastermind in the [Cm] ways of espionage.
_ They all started looking real suspicious of [F] him, but he [Cm] jumped up and said,
now just wait a minute, Jim, you know [Dm] he's [Cm] lying.
I've been living here all of my life.
_ [C] Well, I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Birch and I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church
and I ain't [Dm] even got a garage.
You can [C] call home and ask my wife.
_ And then he started saying something about the way I was [Fm] dressed, but I didn't stay around to [C] hear the rest
because I was [Gm] too busy moving and hoping I didn't [C] run out of luck.
_ When I hit the ground, I was making [F] tracks, they were just taking my car [C] down off of [G] Jack's.
I threw the man a 20 and [F] jumped in [C] firing that mother up.
You know, Kelly Armour would have sure been [F] tired of the way I was moving when I passed [G] that crowd coming out there,
you know, headed [C] toward me in the trough.
_ Well, I knew I should have gone ahead and run, but [Cm] somehow I just couldn't resist the [G] fun
of chasing them all just once around [Cm] the parking [C] lot.
_ [C] Well, they had to put their cars out hitting the [F] gas, [C] spun around and headed them off the [G] pass.
I was swinging ground and put a ton of [C] dust in the air.
_ And I had them all out there stepping and [Cm] benching like their heads were on fire and their asses were [G] kitching,
but I figured I better go ahead and split before the [Cm] cops got there.
_ [C] When I hit that road, I was really [F] squealing, had gravel flying and rubber [G] squealing.
I didn't slow down until I was almost [C] tired and getting soft.
_ Well, thank God I'm going to rewrite my [F] trip.
I want everybody to thank God for [G] me if I went to L.A. by [C] Omaha.
