Johnny Cash The General Lee Lyrics

The General Lee Lyrics

I'm a charger that charges through the night

Like an orange bolt of lightning passing everything in sight

I'm the best pal that you boys ever had

I'm thunder on the highway lookin' bad, bad, bad



I'm a knight, like the kind in shining armor

With my polished body gleaming, I'm a fighter and a charmer

If trouble comes your way just ask for me

My friends all know me as the General Lee



I'm the General Lee

A pistol pumpin', steel belted cavalry

I'll never let you down when you're riding with me

Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean



Take a look back there

Sirens blownin', red lights flashin' everywhere

We'll cross the fields and we'll be running free

They'll eat dust compliments of me, the General Lee



I'm a hero and that's how I'll make you feel

When you're riding shotgun with me and the law is at your heels

I'm glory bound, but when the chase is done

I'll take off through the mountains and have fun, fun, fun



I've got style, tearing through the curves

Let my flag wave proudly to the people that I serve

I'm number one, and I will always be

The pride of the South they call the General Lee



I'm the General Lee

A pistol pumpin', steel belted cavalry

I'll never let you down when you're riding with me

Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean



Take a look back there

Sirens blownin', red lights flashin' everywhere

I'll jump that pond and we'll be running free

And they'll go swimmin', compliments of me



The General Lee

The General Lee
