Chattanoga City Limit Sign lyrics

Send "Chattanoga City Limit Sign" Ringtone to your Cell Recorded by Johnny Cash Writer: Bob Drawdy (Spoken) [G] I was thumbin` a ride one Saturday mornin` Out of [C] Nashville totin` my sack I lent my [D7] car to a gal that lived in Chattanooga And she hadn`t ever brought it back. [G] She was drinkin` pretty heavy, when I let her have it Hope she knows it was only a loan Ain`t no tellin` what I might have told her back at the time, But that old car was also my home. About five miles out I was gettin` kinda tired Sweatin` hard and feelin` kinda weak I woke up with no cigarettes or 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 fellow stuck his head out a `51 Chevy And hollered `Hey man, come on.` I tole `em I was headin` 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 their 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, what you think of this boat?` 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 you somethin` brother. I was so nervous my that teeth was clickin` There 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?` I just shook my head `cause I couldn`t talk He said OK 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.` 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 old floorboard Too weak to sit or stand And then the driver said `We`re doin` a hundred and twenty Look here man, no hands!` I got up enough nerve to raise up and look 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. 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`e 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 (In) Case I wanted to catch a ride back. 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 wanta ask why I was there But they all kept grinnin` and turnin` their heads And it was more than my head could bear. [G] So I called the jailer and asked him to tell me Why I was [C] there, if he`d be so kind He said, [S] [D] [P] `For stoppin` traffic, while I was huggin` and kissin` The Chattanooga City Limit Sign.` [G] Send " Chattanoga City Limit Sign" Ringtone to your Cell Chattanoga City Limit Sign lyrics @ Burbler Lyrics | Chattanoga City Limit Sign lyrics @ ELyrics | Chattanoga City Limit Sign lyrics @ Kovideo | Cash Johnny Lyrics and Video @ MusicBabylon | Chattanoga City Limit Sign lyrics @ Songlyrics | Chattanoga City Limit Sign lyrics @ ELyricsWorld
