Super Slab Showdown Lyrics

Super Slab Showdown lyrics

Me an' Earl was workin' the superslab outside a' that Ogallala? 
When outta town come a local clown in a '65 Impala 
Had a 'coon tail flyin' off a' his whip antenna 
 
We was haulin' a load a' them go-go girls 
Truckin' 'em over to O-town 
Old boy got on his microphone 
Says "How's about a little showdown?"  
 
Well, hot damn, I'm a gamblin' man,  
So ev'rybody get yer bets down 
'Cause this old truck gonna make us a buck 
Chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out vittles  
Swing them heifers and away we go  
 
Wake up, Earl, we gots to race that pile a' junk over ta North Platte city  
 
Well, one-eyed bears and deuces wild 
We got the back door pad-locked  
He says, "Bet five bucks and a side a' beef, 
"I can beat them cows ta Flat Rock."  
 
You hear that, Earl? He says he's gonna whip Ol' Bessie here!  
 
I says, "Call your five and raise ya ten 
"Jes' kiss that Chevy goodby, boy 
"'Cause when Bessie hits that floatin' gear 
"You gonna be eatin' Hereford pie. Yeah."  
 
Well, hot damn, I'm a gamblin' man,  
So ev'rybody get yer bets down 
'Cause this old truck gonna make us a buck 
She gonna round them curves at thirty gees 
A trunk full a' cows an' a hood full a' bees  
 
Move it up a notch, Earl. 
Yeah, that's it. That's floatin' gear! C'mon Bessie!  
 
Well, tuck it on in and head it for the barn 
If we don't win, we gonna sell the farm  
 
If this old wreck don't break my neck, 
We gonna take them cows to a discatheque  
 
I says, "Come on, Earl, let's give it a whirl. 
"That Chevy is a-pickin' up speed." 
Well, we crossed the Platte at a hundred flat 
Old Bessie was a-blowin' the weeds  
 
We definitely was in that Monfort lane.  
 
Yeah, we won the race with a bovine ace 
When the Chevy made a fatal pass 
Yeah, he got too close 
Got a terminal dose a' that good ol' Hereford gas. 
Phew!  
 
Hot damn, I'm a gamblin' man,  
So ev'rybody get yer bets down 
'Cause this old truck's gonna make us a buck 
She's rollin' the boulevard shakedown  
 
Hot damn, I'm a truckin' man 
And I sorta like ta put my foot down 
This old rig gonna blow your wig 
Got go-go girls and a Peterbilt cab 
Gonna see ya all out on the superslab for a showdown
