Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
I was thumbin' a ride one Saturday mornin', outta Nashville totin' my sack
I lent my car to a gal that lived in Chattanooga and she had never brought it back
She was drinkin' pretty heavy when I let her have it, I hope she knows it was only a loan
There ain't no tellin' what I mighta told her back at the time, but that old car was also my home
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
About five miles out I was gettin' kinda tired, sweatin' hard and feelin' kinda weak
I woke up with no cigarettes and nothin' to drink and I hadn't had a bite to eat
My nerves was so quick I couldn't tell where I was shakin', then a set of brakes sang my song
Some fella stuck his head out a '57 Chevy and hollered: "Hey man, come on"
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
I told 'em I was headed down to Chattanooga, they said: "Hop in, we're goin' there too"
And the way they took off in a cloud of smoke, I still ain't believin' it was true
They had the windows down and I was sittin' in the back, with my tongue still hung in my throat
He was hittin' just about a hundred and ten and he said: "Man, whatta you think of this boat?"
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
Well, there was two semi's a-strugglin' up ahead, one tryin' to pass the other
They had the whole road blocked, so he passed 'em on the right and let me tell ya somethin' brother
I was so nervous that my teeth was clickin', it wasn't no way my head could think
Then the one that was sittin' on the passenger side turned and said: "Hey man, you want somethin' to drink?"
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
I just shook my head 'cuz I couldn't talk, he says okay and then he said: "Cheers"
Them fools was drinkin' whiskey and wine and chasin' it down with beer
Well, I started sweatin' that old sticky sweat and I know I was white as a sheet
Then one turned the radio on wide open and said: "Hey man, check that beat"
Verse 6→ Phiên khúc
By the time we reached the top of Monteagle, I thought I heard a rumblin' sound
And then I saw a sign that said: "Fallin' rock" and right there I was floorboard bound
I was rollin' and squirmin' on the ol' floorboard, too weak to sit or stand
And then the driver said: "We're doin' a hundred and twenty, look here man, no hands"
Verse 7→ Phiên khúc
I got up enough nerve to raise up and look, and by now there couldn't be no surprise
But his hair was blowin' all over my face and dandruff blowed in both eyes
He never did drive on the right or left, he just kept on ridin' that line
I rubbed my eyes and saw the prettiest thing, the Chattanooga city limit sign
Verse 8→ Phiên khúc
He slowed down and I said: "Mister please, I'd like to get off right here"
He said: "Aw, ride on into town with us, we're gonna go down 'n' pick up some more beer"
I said please once more and he stopped the car and then he handed me my sack
Said they'd look for me on the road later on, case I wanted to catch a ride back
Verse 9→ Phiên khúc
I got out and sat down by the side of the road, feelin' sick and lookin' mighty pale
I don't remember anything much after that, but next mornin', I woke up in jail
I didn't know anybody in my cell and didn't want to ask why I was there
But they all kept grinnin' and turnin' their heads and it was more than my head could bear
So I called the jailer and asked him to tell me why I was there, if he'd be so kind
He said: "For stoppin' the traffic, while I was huggin' and kissin' the Chattanooga city limit sign"
