wife and my brother Joe
Took off in my Ford from San Pedro
We hadn't much gas and
the tires was low
We were ripping along like
white folks might
When the Mercury behind,
he blinked his lights,

and left the cops' heads spinning
round and round.

about 40 feet wide but me and that

at a terrible pace
When it flew by us I turned the other way
The guy in the Mercury had nothin' to say
For it was a kid in a hopped
