Lyrics

Well, well, well, well
I've got to get some money
I wants to buy a v8 ford
Hee-yeah, got to get some money
I wants to buy a v8 ford
Well, well, well
I want to ride this new highway
Ooo-ooo, that the project just completed
And we can go on

Well now, as I ride this new highway
Lord, n' I'm 'onna cross the gulf of mexico
Eee-yeah, ride this new highway
I'm gon' cross the gulf of mexico
Well, well, well, said, I ain't gonna stop ridin'
Well, until I park in front of my baby's door

(Harmonica & guitar)

Well, when my baby come out an see me
I know she's gonna jump an shout
Eee-yeah, baby run out an see me
I know she's gonna jump an' shout
Well, well, well
Says that's gonna draw a crowd
Wee-hoo, people going to know
Whats all this rackets all about

Now, when people gather 'round
Now in front of my baby's do'
Wee-yeah, crowd a people
Standin' in front of my baby's door
Well, well, well
Then I'm gonna tell 'em, 'don't get excited
Hee-ooo, same lacey belle
I was singin' about, before
