Me an' RJ an' the kids was on a camp-out in the mountains,
and we had us one'a them U-Drive-'Em Army Jeep cars which we rented

In the day we sweat it out on the streets;
Of a runaway American dream.
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines.
Sprung from cages on Highway 9;
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line.

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June;
In a Kenworth pullin' logs.
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on;
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs.

No thank you sir-ir;
Ah, see'mon, I'm a trustworthy guy.
Long Lonesome Road

Headin' home.

Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place.

The man on patrol is gonna give us a bill.

Be Thankful for What You Got
Performer: Bunny Clarke
Songwriter: William DeVaughn
Released: 1975
External Link: Wikipedia
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac;
Gangsta whitewalls, TV antennas in the back;
You may not have a car at all.
But remember brothers and sisters;
You can still stand tall;
Just be thankful for what you've got.
