The song starts with them being pulled over by a cop for speeding (60 in a 45), then they wind up in a bar just down the road. It turns out to be a gay bar, both men are hit on, and they have to fight their way out of the bar. They speed off in their ragtop, and get pulled over again by the same cop for doing 110, and wind up in jail. Maybe Waylon Jennings or Merle Haggard? Please help w/ artist and title.

UNEASY RIDER 88
THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND
ME AND MY BUDDY GOT US A WILD HAIR
AND FIGURED WE WANTED TO GO SOME WHERE
SO WE LOADED UP MY RAGTOP CHEVROLET
WE HADVERY LITTLE MONEY AND A WHOLE LOT OF SHOW
AND WITH JR. BLARIN芒 ON THE RADIO
WE GOT A TANK FULL OF GAS AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY
WE FIGURED WE GO DOWN TO NEW ORLEANS
WE WERE BARROLIN DOWN OLE芒 17
WHEN A MAN WITH A BLINKIN芒 RED LIGHT WAS ON OUR TAIL
HE SAID YOU WERE DOIN芒 60 IN A 45
BUT I芒M GONNA LET YOU GO THIS TIME
BUT IF I CATCH YA AGAIN I芒M GONNA SLAP YA IN THE COUNTY JAIL
WE SAID THANK YA SIR IT芒S SURE BEEN NICE
AND YOU AIN芒T GONNA HAVE TO TELL US TWICE
AND WE WERE SOUTH BOUND AND DOWN WITH THE WIND BLOWIN芒 IN OUR FACE
WE KEPT ON ROLLIN AND PRETTY SOON
THE RADIO WAS COOKIN芒 OUT A HAGGARD TUNE
AND WE WERE PULLIN芒 INTO HOUSTON
AND A CHECKIN芒 OUT ALL THEM PLACES
I WAS FEELIN芒 DRY AND I SAID I THINK
WE OUGHTA STOP AND GET OURSELVES A DRINK
AND OLE JIM SAID YEAH BUT WE GOT TIME TO KILL
WE KEPT ON ROLLIN芒 AND I SEEN THIS SPOT
WE PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT
OF THIS PLACE CALLED THE CLOUD 9 BAR AND GRILL
WE WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR AND THE PLACE WAS JAMMED
THE LIGHTS WERE LOW THEY HAD A PUNK ROCK BAND
AND SOME ORANGE HARIED FELLOW SINGIN芒 脦BOUT SUICIDE
I SAID JIM THIS AIN芒T OUR KIND A PLACE
HE SAID WELL LET芒S JUST HAVE ONE ROUND ANYWAY
SO AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGEMENT WE WALKED ON INSIDE
WENT UP TO THE BAR AND WE SET DOWN
THIS FELLOW WALKED UP AND SIAD I芒LL BUY THIS ROUND
AND HE SET DOWN ON THE BARSTOOL NEXT TO JIM
HE LOOKED LIKE A GIRL BUT HE TALKED LIKE A GUY
HAD LIPSTICK ON AND MASSCAREA IN HIS EYE
AND EVERYBODY IN THAT PLACE LOOKED JUST ABOUT LIKE HIM
I SAID JIM THIS AIN芒T OUR KIND A BAR
LET芒S JUST GO ON OUT AND GET BACK IN THE CAR
CAUSE THERE芒S GONNA BE TROUBLE AIN芒T NO SEANCE IN TAKIN芒 A CHANCE
WE WAS GETTING芒 UP GETTING芒 READY TO LEAVE
SOMEBODY GRABBED OLE芒 JIM BY THE SLEEVE
IT WAS THIS GOOD LOOKIN芒 GIRL SHE WAS ASKIN芒 MY BUDDY TO DANCE
I SAID JIM DON芒T DO IT THERE芒S SOMETHIN芒 MISSIN芒
THERE芒S FELLER芒S DANCIN芒 AND FELLER芒S KISSIN芒
THERE芒S A FELLER IN HIGH HEEL SHOES WEARIN芒 PANTYHOSE
HE SAID PARTNER I JUST CAN芒T TURN THIS DOWN
YOU JUST GO OVER THERE AND HAVE ONE MORE ROUND
I芒LL DANCE WITH THE LADY AND WE芒LL GET ON DOWN THE ROAD
SO HE WALKED AWAY AND LEFT ME ALONE
AND THIS FUNNY LOOKIN芒 FELLER KEPT COMIN芒 ON
AND HE WAS MAKIN芒 ME MAD AT SOME OF THE THINGS HE SAID
WELL THEN HE PUT HIS HAND ON MY KNEE
I SAID IF YOU DON芒T GET YOUR PAW OFF ME
I芒M GONNA LOCATE YOUR NOSE AROUND ON THE SIDE OF YOUR HEAD
HE SAID I LOVE IT WHEN YA GET THAT FIRE IN YOUR EYE
I SAID WELL PARTNER TRY THIS ON FOR SIZE
AND I UNLOADED ON HIM HE WENT OUT LIKE A LIGHT
EVERYBODY IN THAT PLACE MUST A BEEN HIS FRIEND
THEY ALL HEADED FOR ME I SAID THIS IS THE END
BUT WHERE I COME FROM WE DON芒T GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT
THEY WERE SCREAMIN芒 AND YELLIN AND SCRACTIN芒 AND CLAWIN芒
I WAS PUNCIN芒 AND HITTIN芒 AND KICKIN芒 AND PAWIN芒
I WAS HOLDIN MY OWN CAUSE I芒VE BEEN IN A SCRAP OR TWO
OLE JIM COME RUNNIN芒 UP OUTTA THE BLUE
AND THAT GAL HE WAS WITH CAME RUNNIN芒 UP TO
AND PROCEEDED TO BEAT ON ME WITH A HIGH HEEL SHOE
I GRABBED HER BY THE HAIR IT COME OFF IN MY HAND
AND BEAUTIFUL GIRL WAS JUST A BEAUTIFUL MAN
AN OLE JIM JUST GOT SICK RIGHT THERE ON THE FLOOR
HE DROPPED THAT DUDE LIKE A SHOT FROM A GUN
SMEARED HIS LIPSTICK MADE HIS MAKE UP RUN
AND ME AN OLE JIM STARTED FIGHTIN芒 OUR WAY TO THE DOOR
MAN WE LIT OUT A THERE IN THAT CHEVROLET
AND I PUT HER ON THE FLOOR AND SHE STAYED THAT WAY
WE WAS GOIN芒 DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOIN芒 脦BOUT A HUNDERED AND TEN
WE WAS HEADED FOR HOME AND WE WAS GETTING芒 NEAR IT
THEN A RED LIGHT CAME ON IN THE REARVIEW MIRROW
AND THAT SAME BLAMED COP WAS PULLIN芒 US OVER AGAIN
WELL I芒M SETTIN芒 HERE IN THIS COUNTY JAIL
I HAD TO CALL MY DADDY TO GO OUR BAIL
BUT I LEARNED ME A LESSON THAT I NEVER WILL FORGET AGAIN
I DONE GIVE UP DRINKIN芒 I芒VE GIVE UP BARS
AND RUNNIN芒 ROUND THE COUNTRY IN SOUPED UP CARS
GOIN芒 BACK TO WHERE THE WOMEN ARE WOMEN AND THE MEN ARE MEN I cannot for the life of me think of it.
It is a song though... I know but I don't know!
Wait for Tommy, Tex, or Okie.... They will surely know!!!
Have a good day! Cotton Picker's got the words rigfht as I remember, but I thought the title was Uneasy Rider 1989, not 1988. I could be wrong. It's the Charlie Daniels Band, not Waylon or Merle. Uneasy rider-Charlie Daniels |
