C.W. McCall — Four Wheel Drive

[Verse 1] We was screaming through the valley Where the Nishnabotna flows Through the mud and crud and cornfields Where the marijuana grows Crossed the railroad tracks at Persia Down the hills and up the dale Had a CJ-5 with four wheel drive And Smokey on my tail Well, he picked me up at exit 12 On the I-680 ramp I was doin' sixty seven per When I rumbled through his trap He commenced to whirl his flashing lights And he made his siren wail I slipped on down to four wheel drive With Smokey on my tail Now, I've got racing stripes And dual pipes And Smokey's got a Ford Got a mill with a four-pot carb, you know But Smokey's stroked and bored Well, the chase was on But I had the edge With a rig that'll never fail Got a CJ-5 with a four wheel drive With Smokey on my tail Yeah, he was Well, I dropped on down to granny low And I made a hard right turn My big ol' fat Commando tires Went slashin' through the corn Well, the tassels blew and the kernels flew And it looked like yellow hail Just cookin' alive in a four wheel drive With Smokey on my tail [Verse 1] Look out now, here he come Oh, we gonna get it on now Don't hit that fella with the banjo We gon' swim this here crick now, Smokey Yard wide and a foot deep Nishnabotna River, they call it Might have to winch out Gon' do a wheelie on that there gopher mound now, Smokey Can you dig it, Smokey? Got four on the floor and four in the air on that one, didn't we? Goodness gracious 'Bout to bust my shocks Well, that Jeep of mine made Smokey whine His rig was made of lead He was mired in fourteen feet of mud So he radioed ahead I pulled up onto the blacktop Went crashin' on through the rail Sakes alive, I had twenty five more Smokeys on my tail Now I had racing stripes and dual pipes And Smokey had a Ford Had a mill with a four-pot carb, you know But Smokey's stroked and bored Well, the race was on But I had the edge With a rig that'll never fail Got a CJ-5 with a four-wheel drive Sittin' out back of the jail
