We was screamin' through the valley where the Nishnabotna flows

Through the mud and crud and cornfields where the marijuana grows

'Cross the railroad tracks at Persia, down the hills and up the dale

Had a CJ5 with a four-wheel drive and Smokey on my tail

Well, he picked me up at exit 12, on the I-680 ramp

I was doin' 67 per when I rumbled through his trap

He commenced to whirl his flashin' lights, and he made his siren wail

I slipped on down to four-wheel drive with Smokey on my tail

Now I got racin' stripes and dual pipes and Smokey's got a Ford

Got a mill with a four-pot carb, you know, but Smokey's stroked and bored

Well, the chase was on, but I had the edge with a rig that'll never fail

Got a CJ5 with a four-wheel drive and Smokey on my tail

Yeah, he was

Well, I dropped on down to granny low, and I made a hard right turn

My big ol' fat Commando tires went slashin' through the corn

Well, the tassels blew, and the kernels flew, and it looked like yellow hail

Just cookin' alive in a four-wheel drive with Smokey on my tail

Well, we went screamin' through the valley where the Nishnabotna flows

Through the mud and crud and cornfields where the marijuana grows

'Cross the railroad tracks at Persia, up the hills and down the dale

My CJ5 with four-wheel drive and Smokey on my tail

Look out, now, here he come

Oh, we gonna get it on now

Don't hit that fella with the banjo

We're gonna swim this here creek now, Smokey

Yard wide and a foot deep

Nishnabotna river, they call it

Might have to winch out

Gonna do a wheelie on that there gopher mound now, Smokey

Can you dig it, Smokey?

Got four on the floor and four in the air on that one, didn't we?

Goodness gracious

'Bout to bust my shocks

Well, that Jeep of mine made Smokey whine, his rig was made of lead

He was mired in 14 feet of mud, so he radioed ahead

I pulled up onto the blacktop, went crashin' on through the rail

Sakes alive, I had 25 more, Smokey's on my tail

Now I had racin' stripes and dual pipes and Smokey had a Ford

Had a mill with a four-pot carb, you know, but Smokey's stroked and bored

Well, the race was on, but I had the edge with a rig that'll never fail

Got a CJ5 with a four-wheel drive settin' out back of the jail
