Yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah
It was a ten miles stretch on a Pennsylvania road
T'was a sky blue Jaguar and a Thunderbird Ford
The Jaguar setting on 99
Tryin' to beat the Bird to the county line
Just a half-a-mile from Newtonville
There had a speed sign sitting at the top of the hill
It said, "35 miles, and stay in line"
But the Jaguar and Thunderbird never made the sign
Yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah
(Look out)
Yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah
Ludenville was a real small town
Just a hundred and two and nine acres of ground
Some stool pigeon put the Sheriff wise
Told him "Park down in Newtonville and catch 'em guys"
Sheriff laid low, half hid in the weeds
He said for eight days, didn't nobody speed
A cloud of dust came appearing on the road
Here come the Jaguar and Thunderbird Ford
Yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah
(Here they come)
Yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah
Old Sheriff doubled clutched second, put it in third
Turned around, went after them, Thunderbird
He knew he'd get a bonus and a big fat fine
If he could catch 'em 'fore they crossed that county line
The Sheriff keeps the drivers car a hundred and ten
And if he aimed to get 'em, he'd have to do it again
The crest of the hill, he's about a mile behind
There wasn't but three more miles to the county line
Yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah
(You better run)
Yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah
Old Sheriff was countin' on the downward grade
And with the windin' behind him, he'll do a hundred in a shade
Thunderbird saw the Sheriff gainin' speed
And put his foot to the floor and pulled up to the lead
Jaguar said, "You ain't won the race yet"
And pulled back around the Bird like a sabre jet
The Sheriff doing better than a hundred and nine
Bumper to bumper with the Bird when they crossed the line
Yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah
