Well back in the country in my hometown

I'm the coolest fastest man around

I got a hot rod car and you oughta see it run

I went out riding with a friend of mine

We started passing everybody way down the line

And I felt pretty big and boy we was having fun

Suddenly I didn't feel so fine cause a highway cop

Pulled up behind

So I asked my friend if the cop was after me

He just sat there shaking all over

Like ol' Elvis Presley and said

Well if you don't know

I ain't gonna tell you from now on it's up to you fellow

Words don't count at a time like this

There was a little blonde lived down on the corner

All the boys thought that she was a goner

So I got me a date and we went for a ride one night

We rolled along and I held her hand

I felt just like a grown up man

Till she stood over close and hugged me up real tight

I started to stop to get out and run

But I didn't wanna miss out on all the fun

So I asked her to teach me to spoon beneath the moon

She just looked up at me and winked

Them big beautiful blue eyes and said

Well you don't know

I ain't gonna tell you from now on it's up to you fellow

Words don't count at a time like this

I finally wised up and I learned all the tricks

And now I'm the coolest cat in the sticks

And I've got more gals than anybody else I know

I drink cold lightning and I travel mighty far

I like pretty gals and souped up cars

I'm a traveling man and I'm always on the go

There's some bootleg liquor being sold in town

And the sheriff's been hunting all around

But nobody knows who the manufacturer is

You ask me why I drive a hot rod coupe Deluxe

With two carburetors straight stick ship souped up engine

High compression heads and overdrive hu

You don't know I ain't gonna tell you

From now on it's up to you fellow

I think you know just what I'm talking about
