49 - Angry Johnny and the Killbillies

Charlie drove his Harley into Dewey’s Bar and Grill

Parked that hog in the middle of the floor

Said «Where's that dirty coward that I come in here to kill?»

Said «Charlie, he just ran out the back door.»

Then Charlie heard that Mustang fire up and peel down the street

Apologized to Dewey for the intrusion

He headed out to Rich McCray

Today that creep was gonna pay

For what he did to Charlie’s sister Susan

He chased the Must down 49

Headin' for the county line

Ol' Rich could feel the sweat pour from his brow

Charlie pulled his 44

And drew a bead on that old Ford

But then he had to swerve to miss a cow

He left Highway 49

Doin' a hundred twenty nine

Landed in a heap in a cornfield

Pulled himself out of the mud

Wiped his eyes a’clear of blood

Yeah, Rich McCray, your worthless fate is sealed

He started up that big ol' hog

And headed straight on through the bog

To head on with Richie had blown past

McCray thought that he was homefree

Then Charlie burst out of the trees

And Richie had almost shit right in his pants

The bloody muddy cut up Charlie

Climbed off of his smokin' Harley

Stood right in the center 'f 49

Rich pushed the pedal to the floor

And thought for sure he’d won the war

But a slug from a 44 magnum changed his mind

Like a blood filled tick his skull just popped

But even as the last drip dropped

His footstep pushin' hard down on the floor

Charlie had no time to run

He looked up at the setting sun

And laughed up at the Mustang’s deadly roar

That pony hit him like a train

That hog burst into a big black flame

And Charlie and his Harley said goodbye

On a lonely stretch of 49

On a bloody day in 69

Charlie and his brother Richie died

Woaaah!
