As I came across the Pecos and broke west of the lineThis thunderstorm was a runnin' and it ran me out of timeI was racing through the rain with this rig from TennesseeWhen a voice cut through the static, bringing comfort home to meThey were singin'I ain't sittin' in no shackGot me a Ford right out the backSo come on and roll me overIf I ain't there in nothing flatWith a honky-tonk attitudeI'll be doing the straight line swingC'mon and grab your horseshoeAnd throw it in the ringNow the levee wall was breaking, rocks were rolling from the ridgeThe announcer broke in, saying there was a bus trapped on the bridgeSo I turned my rig around, I was axle-deep in mudAnd I found those people stranded, the bridge was groaning in the floodStill my radio was singin'I ain't sittin' in no shackGot me a Ford right out the backSo come on and roll me overIf I ain't there in nothing flatWith a honky-tonk attitudeSongtexteI'll be doing the straight line swingC'mon and grab your horseshoeAnd throw it in the ringWith the grinding of my engine, I hauled those people freeWith the raging river rising, the driver came thanking meSo I told him about the message; he said, That can't be rightThe storm knocked out the radio tower late last Saturday nightBut through the static we heard singin'I ain't sittin' in no shackGot me a Ford right out the backSo come on and roll me overIf I ain't there in nothing flatWith a honky-tonk attitudeI'll be doing the straight line swingC'mon and grab your horseshoeAnd throw it in the ringThem old truckers gonna tell you down the lonely interstateOut the dead air on the waveband, the Texas Playboys breakYou'll hear a keening voice, Bob Wills is with you as you driveAnd you'll know you got a broadcast straight from 1935Can you hear him singin'I ain't sittin' in no shackGot me a Ford right out the backSo come on and roll me overIf I ain't there in nothing flatWith a honky-tonk attitudeI'll be doing the straight line swingC'mon and grab your horseshoeAnd throw it in the ringI ain't sittin' in no shack, babeI got me a Ford right out the backSo come on and roll me overIf I ain't there in nothing flatWith a honky-tonk attitudeI'll be doing the straight line swingC'mon and grab your horseshoeAnd throw it in the ring Aus Songtexte Mania
