CUSTOM

[Intro, Spoken Word - Excited] “I love it, love it, love it!" (Verse 1) Down in Hazzard County where the red dust flies There’s a lawman chasin’ shadows, never catchin’ wise With a crooked little grin and a badge that shines Rosco P. Coltrane ridin’ crooked county lines (Chorus) Oh, Rosco rides with a siren cry Flashin’ lights but the Duke boys fly Trip and stumble, but he won’t quit tryin’ Law’s his job, though he ain’t good at it, I’m testifyin’ (Verse 2) Got a hound named Flash ridin’ by his side Eatin’ donuts while he takes that wild ride Boss Hogg hollers “Boy, you better bring ‘em in!” But Rosco just tips his hat and spins again (Chorus) Oh, Rosco rides with a siren cry, Flashin’ lights as the Duke boys fly, Over every hill and around every bend, He’ll chase those boys till the very end! [Spoken Word — Excited] "OOOOOOOH! I'm in 'Hot Pursuit!' I love it! I love it!" (Verse 3) Well he means no harm, just a paycheck man Caught between the law and Hogg’s command Heart ain’t bad, just a little off track With a cloud of dust and a squad car crack [Spoken Word - Determined] "I’m gonna Cuff ya an’ stuff ya!” (Bridge) Now the town folks laugh but they all know true He’s part of the rhythm like the morning dew A crooked star in a southern sky Chasin’ moonlight as it passes by (Final Chorus) Oh, Rosco rides with a siren cry Flashin’ lights but the Duke boys fly Never wins but he won’t stand still He’s Hazzard County’s lawman still (Outro) So raise a jar to Rosco’s name, Chasin’ Duke boys just the same, Through every chase, he plays his part, Hazzard County’s finest heart! [Spoken Word - Angry] "Enos, you dipstick! Look what you made me do, ya dun scuffed my ve-hicle!"
