jitterbug

charlie daniels band, the

he wears a zoot suit with a reet pleat

drives a '36 cord with a rumble seat

now he's a lord

he's a jitterbug

scare the letters off a highway sign

he drinks beer and eats beanies

chases it down with ol' thunderbird wine

carries brass knuckles and a.44

runs a loan shark business and a mary jane store

he's a. he's a jitterbug; keeps movin'

don't sit still

if the law don't get him

some gun-totin' irate husband will

oh

oh

oh

ooh

ooh

ooh jitterbug

jitterbug

one day in september he stepped out of his cord

into the street to face a bullet spittin' ford

now he's jitterbug

just a name in the news

said

he finally paid the price. he finally paid his dues."
