Johnny Cash - The General Lee lyrics

I'm a charger
That charges through the night
Like an orange bolt of lightning
Passing everything in sight
I'm the best pal the Duke boys' ever had
I'm thunder on the highway looking bad, bad
Bad

I'm a knight like the kind in shining armor
With my polished body gleaming
I'm a fighter and a charmer
If trouble comes your way just ask for me
My friends all know me as the General Lee
I'm the General Lee
A piston pumpin' steel belted cavalry
I'll never let you down when
You're riding with me
Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean
Take a look back there
Sirens blowing red lights flashing everywhere
We'll cross the field and
We'll be runnin' free
They'll eat dust with compliments of me
The General Lee

I'm a hero
And that's how I'll make you feel
When you're riding shotgun with me
And the law is at your heels
I'm glory bound and when the chase is done
I'll take off through the mountains
And have fun, fun, fun

I've got style tearing through the curves
With my flag waving proudly to
The people that I serve
I'm number 1 and I'll always be
The pride of the South they
Call the General Lee

I'm the General Lee
A piston pumpin' steel belted cavalry
I'll never let you down when
You're riding with me
Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean
Take a look back there
Sirens blowing red lights flashing everywhere
I'll jump that pond and
We'll be running free
And they'll go swimming compliments of me
The General Lee the General Lee
General Lee
