Rocks Of Reno

Have you ever been driving down the road
And come upon a fella who was just pokin' along,
Straddlin' the white line?
And when you'd try to pass him, he'd speed up?
Well, 'round here we call this fella a Road Hog.
This is a story about him and his eventual end:
Well, me and my buddy went a riding last night
Me and my buddy went a riding last night
Popped a hill and we saw his lights
Road Hog, beep, beep, do do do do do, Road Hog, do do do do.
Now, when we saw him we almost died
When we saw him we almost died
He was comin' at us on our side
Road Hog, beep, beep, do do do do do, Road Hog, do do do do.
My buddy said, That fella sure came mighty near.
Probably some learner who don't know how to steer
And then I saw his lights comin' up in my mirror
Road Hog, beep, beep, do do do do do, Road Hog, do do do do.
He passed us a-going about a hundred, I guess
He passed us a-going about a hundred, I guess
And then he slowed down to twenty or less
Road Hog, beep, beep, do do do do do, Road Hog, do do do do
I tooted my horn and I started to pass
I blinked my lights and I started to pass
And then that road hog stepped on the gas
Road Hog, beep, beep, do do do do do, Road Hog, do do do do
He'd better get him up some money for bail
He'd better get him up some money for bail
'Cause tomorrow morning he'll be in jail
Road Hog, beep, beep, do do do do do, Road Hog, do do do do
The boys will have him in the moring behind bars
The boys will have him in the moring behind bars
'Cause I'm the County Sheriff in my unmarked car... he he he he
Road Hog, beep, beep, do do do do do, Road Hog, do do do do
Blow you horn, Has. Let's get him, Norris.
