Waxahachi Drag Race
Ronnie Dawson
(Ronnie Dawson, Yep Roc Records YEP 2012, 1999)
The County C Rebels were a rowdy bunch
There was gonna be trouble, I had a hunch
The toughest guy, he threw the first punch
He hit me so hard, that I nearly lost my lunch
Well, I'm dragging tonight, and I do mean fast
Well, I'm always first, I ain't never last
Well, this night fight was a big disgrace
I challenged that sucker to a big drag race
If I lose this race, I'm gonna dump this car
I'm gonna trade it in for a Fender guitar
Well, I'm dragging tonight, and I do mean fast
Well, I'm always first, I ain't never last
[Guitar solo]
Well, I'm dragging tonight, and I do mean fast
Well, I'm always first, I ain't never last
At the party tonight, we started this race
Flying south at a blistering pace
I threw it into third, I knew he'd never catch me
I lost him in the dust, oh down by Waxahachi
Well, I'm dragging tonight, and I do mean fast
Well, I'm always first, I ain't never last
[Guitar solo]
Well, I'm dragging tonight, and I do mean fast
Well, I'm always first, I ain't never last
Well, my tyres are a smoking, they're ready to fry
My Hot Rod Ford even started to fly
Getting even faster, we left the ground
Like a jet plane, at the speed of sound
Well, I'm dragging tonight, and I do mean fast
Well, I'm always first, I ain't never last
