Grindin’ those gears, pumpin’ the clutch.
On the way to smoke em up city.
Steerin’ with a feather light touch,
shiny new rig, lookin’ so pretty.

And then....

And then he saw in his rearview
what heated his stew, boiled his eggs.
For she was inchin’ forward, he knew.
A red Corvette and long lean legs.

The tease was on, the stakes were high
as both of them came round the bend.
He strained real hard to glimpse a thigh
as her black skirt danced in the wind.

Another mile screamed past as they
hit the last turn before the scales.
Another foot, to his dismay
was all to reach his holy graile.

He knew the bears would be waitin’
for this bandit to bust the line.
For they knew that she was baitin’
his bare hook as his turbo whined.

He broke the line at ninety-five
and smoked the tires to their core.
Grinnin’ and cussin, though still alive.
Riding her bumber, now her backdoor!

The bears gave in 'cause of her grin
and let this boy roll out of there.
His search over, they all would win
A glimpse of face and flame red hair.

And on his lips was fiery red
from his taste of a purebred wine.
The trucker won, the Corvette led
till they found the Arkansas line.

Hey Good Buddy- you're smokin'

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
