C.w. Mccall - Super Slab Showdown lyrics

Me an' earl was workin' the superslab outside a' that ogallala? When outta town come a local clown in a '65 impala Had a 'coon tail flyin' off a' his whip antenna We was haulin' a load a' them go-go girls Truckin' 'em over to o-town Old boy got on his microphone Says "how's about a little showdown?" Well, hot damn, i'm a gamblin' man, So ev'rybody get yer bets down 'cause this old truck gonna make us a buck Chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out vittles Swing them heifers and away we go Wake up, earl, we gots to race that pile a' junk over ta north platte city Well, one-eyed bears and deuces wild We got the back door pad-locked He says, "bet five bucks and a side a' beef, "i can beat them cows ta flat rock." You hear that, earl? he says he's gonna whip ol' bessie here! I says, "call your five and raise ya ten "jes' kiss that chevy goodby, boy "'cause when bessie hits that floatin' gear "you gonna be eatin' hereford pie. yeah." Well, hot damn, i'm a gamblin' man, So ev'rybody get yer bets down 'cause this old truck gonna make us a buck She gonna round them curves at thirty gees A trunk full a' cows an' a hood full a' bees Move it up a notch, earl. Yeah, that's it. that's floatin' gear! c'mon bessie! Well, tuck it on in and head it for the barn If we don't win, we gonna sell the farm If this old wreck don't break my neck, We gonna take them cows to a discatheque I says, "come on, earl, let's give it a whirl. "that chevy is a-pickin' up speed." Well, we crossed the platte at a hundred flat Old bessie was a-blowin' the weeds We definitely was in that monfort lane. Yeah, we won the race with a bovine ace When the chevy made a fatal pa** Yeah, he got too close Got a terminal dose a' that good ol' hereford gas. Phew! Hot damn, i'm a gamblin' man, So ev'rybody get yer bets down 'cause this old truck's gonna make us a buck She's rollin' the boulevard shakedown Hot damn, i'm a truckin' man And i sorta like ta put my foot down This old rig gonna blow your wig Got go-go girls and a peterbilt cab Gonna see ya all out on the superslab for a showdown
