[G] [A] [C]
[F] [Am] [G]
[C] I was taking a trip out to LA, [F] tooling along in my Chevrolet, [G] toking on the number and [C] digging on the radio.
Just as I crossed the Mississippi [F] line, I heard that highway start to whine and I [G] knew that left rear tire was [C] about to go.
Well, the spare was flat and I got up [F] tight because there wasn't a filling station in [G] sight, so I just limped on down the shoulder [C] on the rim.
[G] [C] I went as far as I could and when I stopped the [F] car, it was right in front of this little bar, [G] kind of a redneck looking joint called [C] the Dew Drop Inn.
[G] [C] Well, I stuffed my hair up under my hat [F] and told the bartender that I had a flat [G] and would he be kind enough to give me change [C] for a one.
Well, there was one thing I was sure proud to see, there [F] wasn't a soul in the place except for him and me and [G] he just looked disgusted and pointed toward the [C] telephone.
I called up a station down the road a ways and [F] he said he wasn't very busy today and he could [G] have somebody there in just about ten minutes or [C] so.
He said, now you just stay right where you're at and [F] I didn't bother to tell the darn fool that [G] I sure as hell didn't have any place else to go.
[C] I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar [F] when some guy walked in and said, who owns this car [G] with the peace sign and the mag wheels and four [C] on the floor?
Well, he looked at me and I damn near died [F] and I decided [Am] that I'd just wait outside so [G] I laid a dollar on the bar and headed for the [C] door.
Just when I thought I'd get out of there with my skin, [F] these five big dudes come strolling in with [G] this one old drunk chick and some fellow with green [C] teeth.
[G] [C] And I was almost at the door when the biggest one said, [F] you tip your hat to this lady, son, and [G] when I did, all that hair fell out from [C] underneath.
[G] [C] Now the last thing I wanted was to get in a fight [F] in Jackson, Mississippi [Am] on a Saturday night, [G] especially when there was three of them and only one of [C] me.
But they all started laughing and I felt kind of sick [F] and I knew I'd better think of something pretty quick so I [G] just reached out and kicked old green teeth [C] right in the knee.
Now he let out a yell, let it curl your hair, [F] but before he could move I grabbed me a chair and [G] said, watch him folks because he's a thoroughly dangerous [C] man.
[G] Well [C] you may not know it, but this man's a spy.
[F] He's an undercover agent for the [Am] FBI and he's [G] been sent down here to infiltrate the Q [C]-Club's plan.
He was still bent over holding on to his knee, but [F] everybody else was looking and listening to me and I [G] laid it on thicker and heavier as I went.
[C] I said, would you believe this man has gone as far as [F] tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars [G] and he voted for George McGovern for president.
[C] Well [G] he's a friend of [C] them long haired hippie type pico fags, [F] I bet you he's even got a commie flag [G] tacked up on the wall inside of his [C] garage.
[G] [C] He's a snake in the grass, I tell you guys, [F] he may look dumb, but that's just to disguise, [G] he's a mastermind in the ways of [C] espionage.
[G] They [C] all started looking real suspicious at him [F] and he jumped up and said, now just wait a minute [G] Jim, you know he's lying, I've been living here all [C] of my life.
I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Birch [F] and I belong to the Antioch Baptist [C] Church [G] and I ain't even got a garage, you can call home, [C] ask my wife.
[G] Then [C] he started saying something about the way I was dressed, [F] but I didn't want around to hear the rest, I [G] was too busy moving and hoping I didn't run out [C] of luck.
And when I hit the ground I was making tracks [F] and they were just taking my [Am] car down off the jacks, [G] so I threw the man a 20 and jumped in and [C] fired that mother [G] up.
[C] Mario Andretti would have sure been [F] proud of the way I was moving when I passed that [G] crowd coming out the door and headed toward me in a [C] trot.
[G] [C] And I guess I should have gone ahead and run, but [F] somehow I just couldn't resist the [G] fun of chasing them all just once around the [C] parking lot.
Well they're headed for their car, but I hit the [F] gas, spun around and headed them off at the [G] pass, I was slinging gravel and putting a ton [C] of dust in the air.
Well I had them all out there stepping and [F] fetching like their heads were on fire and their asses was [G] catching, but I figured I better go ahead and split before the [C] cops got there.
Well when I hit the road I was really [F] wheeling, had gravel flying and rubber [G] squealing and I didn't slow down until I was almost to [C] Arkansas.
[G] [C] Well I think I'm going to reroute my [F] trip, I don't wonder if anybody would think I [G] flipped if I went to [E] LA via [C] Omaha.
