I was takin a trip out to L.A.
Toolin along in my Chevrolet
Tokin on a number and diggin on the radi- o ...
Just as I crossed the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
And I knew that left rear tire was about to go.

Well, the spare was flat and I got uptight
Cause there wasnt a fillin station in sight
So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim
I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
Kind of redneck lookin joint, called the Dew Drop Inn.

Well, I stuffed my hair up under my hat
And told the bartender that I had a flat
And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one
There was one thing I was sure proud to see
There wasnt a soul in the place, cept for him and me
And he just looked disgusted and pointed toward the
telephone.

I called up the station down the road a ways
And he said he wasnt very busy today
And he could have somebody there in just bout ten minutes or
so
He said now you just stay right where youre at
And I didnt bother tellin the durn fool
I sure as hell didnt have anyplace else to go.

I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
When some guy walked in and said Who owns this car?
With the peace sign, the mag wheels and four on the
floor?
Well, he looked at me and I damn near died
And I decided that Id just wait outside
So I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door.

Just when I thought Id get outta there with my skin
These five big dudes come strollin in
With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green
teeth
And I was almost to the door when the biggest one
Said You tip your hat to this lady, son.
And when I did all that hair fell out from underneath.

Uneasy Rider
by Charlie Daniels Band


SPOKEN:
I was takin a trip out to L.A.
Toolin along in my Chevrolet
Tokin on a number and diggin on the radi- o ...
Just as I crossed the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
And I knew that left rear tire was about to go.

Well, the spare was flat and I got uptight
Cause there wasnt a fillin station in sight
So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim
I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
Kind of redneck lookin joint, called the Dew Drop Inn.

Well, I stuffed my hair up under my hat
And told the bartender that I had a flat
And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one
There was one thing I was sure proud to see
There wasnt a soul in the place, cept for him and me
And he just looked disgusted and pointed toward the
telephone.

I called up the station down the road a ways
And he said he wasnt very busy today
And he could have somebody there in just bout ten minutes or
so
He said now you just stay right where youre at
And I didnt bother tellin the durn fool
I sure as hell didnt have anyplace else to go.

I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
When some guy walked in and said Who owns this car?
With the peace sign, the mag wheels and four on the
floor?
Well, he looked at me and I damn near died
And I decided that Id just wait outside
So I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door.

Just when I thought Id get outta there with my skin
These five big dudes come strollin in
With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green
teeth
And I was almost to the door when the biggest one
Said You tip your hat to this lady, son.
And when I did all that hair fell out from underneath.

Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
In Jackson, Mississippi on a Saturday night
Specially when there was three of them and only one of
me
They all started laughin and I felt kinda sick
And I knew Id better think of somethin pretty quick
So I just reached out and kicked old green-teeth right in
the knee.

He let out a yell thatd curl your hair
But before he could move, I grabbed me a chair
And said Watch him folks, cause hes a thouroughly dangerous
man.
Well, you may not know it, but this mans a spy
Hes an undercover agent for the FBI
And hes been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux
Klan.
He was still bent over, holdin on to his knee
But everyone else was lookin and listenin to me
And I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went
I said Would you beleive this man has gone as far
As tearin Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
And he voted for George McGovern for president.

Hes a friend of them long-haired, hippie type, pinko
fags
I betcha hes even got a Commie flag
Tacked up on the wall, inside of his garage
Hes a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys
He may look dumb, but thats just a disguise
Hes a mastermind in the ways of espionage.

They all started lookin real suspicious at him
And he jumped up an said Now, just wait a minute, Jim
You know hes lyin Ive been livin here all of my life.
Im a faithfull follower of Brother John Birch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church
And I aint even got a garage, you can call home and ask my
wife.

Then he started sayin somethin bout the way I was
dressed
But I didnt wait around to hear the rest
I was too busy movin and hopin I didnt run outta luck
And when I hit the ground, I was makin tracks
And they were just takin my car down off the jacks
So I threw the man a twenty an jumped in an fired that
mother up.

Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin when I passed that crowd
Comin out the door and headin toward me in a trot
And I guess I should-a gone ahead and run
But somehow I couldnt resist the fun
Of chasin them all just once around the parkin lot.

Well, theyre headin for their car, but I hit the gas
And spun around and headed them off at the pass
I was slingin gravel and puttin a ton of dust in the
air
Ha Ha, well, I had em all out there steppin and fetchin
Like their heads were on fire and their asses was
catchin
But I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got
there.

When I hit the road I was really wheelin
Had gravel flyin and rubber squeelin
And I didnt slow down til I was almost to Arkansas
Well, I think Im gonna re-route my trip
I wonder if anybodyd think Id flipped
If I went to L.A. - via Omaha.

"Uneasy Rider" charlie daniels

I was takin' a trip out to L.A. toolin' along in my Chevrolet Tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio Just as I crossed the Mississippi line I heard that highway starting to whine And I knew that left rear tire was about to go

Well, the spare was flat and I got uptight
'Cause there wasn't a filling station in sight
So I just limped down on the shoulder on the rim
I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
Kind of a redneck lookin' joint called the Dew Drop Inn

Verse 2:
Well, I stuffed my hair up under my hat
And told the bartender that I had a flat
And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one
There was one thing I was sure proud to see
There wasn't a soul in the place 'cept for him and me
And he just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone
I called up a station down the road a way
And he said he wasn't very busy today
And he could have somebody there in just about 10 minutes or so He said, "Now, you just stay right where you're at" And I didn't bother to tell the durn fool that I sure as hell didn't have any place else to go

Verse 3
I'd just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
When some guy walked in , said, "Who owns this car
With the peace sign, the mag wheels and four on the floor?" Well, he looked at me and I damn near died And I decided that I'd just wait outside So I laid a dollar on the bar and headed for the door Just when I thought I'd get out of there with my skin These three big dudes come a strollin' in With this one old drunk chick and some fella' with green teeth And I was almost to the door with the biggest one Said, "You tip your hat to this lady, son" And when i did all that hair fell out from underneath

Verse 4

Verse 5
He was still bent over, holdin' on to his knee

Verse 7
Mario Andretti would've sure been proud
Of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd

And I guess I shoulda' gone ahead and run
But, somehow, I just couldn't resist the fun
