I heard an older country song on the radio the other day about 2 buddies driving!
Question: The song starts with them being pulled over by a cop for speeding (60 in a 45), then they wind up in a bar just down the road. It turns out to be a gay bar, both men are hit on, and they have to fight their way out of the bar. They speed off in their ragtop, and get pulled over again by the same cop for doing 110, and wind up in jail. Maybe Waylon Jennings or Merle Haggard? Please help w/ artist and title.

UNEASY RIDER 88
THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND
ME AND MY BUDDY GOT US A WILD HAIR
AND FIGURED WE WANTED TO GO SOME WHERE
SO WE LOADED UP MY RAGTOP CHEVROLET
WE HADVERY LITTLE MONEY AND A WHOLE LOT OF SHOW
AND WITH JR. BLARINa ON THE RADIO
WE GOT A TANK FULL OF GAS AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY
WE FIGURED WE GO DOWN TO NEW ORLEANS
WE WERE BARROLIN DOWN OLEa 17
WHEN A MAN WITH A BLINKINa RED LIGHT WAS ON OUR TAIL
HE SAID YOU WERE DOINa 60 IN A 45
BUT IaM GONNA LET YOU GO THIS TIME
BUT IF I CATCH YA AGAIN IaM GONNA SLAP YA IN THE COUNTY JAIL
WE SAID THANK YA SIR ITaS SURE BEEN NICE
AND YOU AINaT GONNA HAVE TO TELL US TWICE
AND WE WERE SOUTH BOUND AND DOWN WITH THE WIND BLOWINa IN OUR FACE
WE KEPT ON ROLLIN AND PRETTY SOON
THE RADIO WAS COOKINa OUT A HAGGARD TUNE
AND WE WERE PULLINa INTO HOUSTON
AND A CHECKINa OUT ALL THEM PLACES
I WAS FEELINa DRY AND I SAID I THINK
WE OUGHTA STOP AND GET OURSELVES A DRINK
AND OLE JIM SAID YEAH BUT WE GOT TIME TO KILL
WE KEPT ON ROLLINa AND I SEEN THIS SPOT
WE PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT
OF THIS PLACE CALLED THE CLOUD 9 BAR AND GRILL
WE WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR AND THE PLACE WAS JAMMED
THE LIGHTS WERE LOW THEY HAD A PUNK ROCK BAND
AND SOME ORANGE HARIED FELLOW SINGINa ?BOUT SUICIDE
I SAID JIM THIS AINaT OUR KIND A PLACE
HE SAID WELL LETaS JUST HAVE ONE ROUND ANYWAY
SO AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGEMENT WE WALKED ON INSIDE
WENT UP TO THE BAR AND WE SET DOWN
THIS FELLOW WALKED UP AND SIAD IaLL BUY THIS ROUND
AND HE SET DOWN ON THE BARSTOOL NEXT TO JIM
HE LOOKED LIKE A GIRL BUT HE TALKED LIKE A GUY
HAD LIPSTICK ON AND MASSCAREA IN HIS EYE
AND EVERYBODY IN THAT PLACE LOOKED JUST ABOUT LIKE HIM
I SAID JIM THIS AINaT OUR KIND A BAR
LETaS JUST GO ON OUT AND GET BACK IN THE CAR
CAUSE THEREaS GONNA BE TROUBLE AINaT NO SEANCE IN TAKINa A CHANCE
WE WAS GETTINGa UP GETTINGa READY TO LEAVE
SOMEBODY GRABBED OLEa JIM BY THE SLEEVE
IT WAS THIS GOOD LOOKINa GIRL SHE WAS ASKINa MY BUDDY TO DANCE
I SAID JIM DONaT DO IT THEREaS SOMETHINa MISSINa
THEREaS FELLERaS DANCINa AND FELLERaS KISSINa
THEREaS A FELLER IN HIGH HEEL SHOES WEARINa PANTYHOSE
HE SAID PARTNER I JUST CANaT TURN THIS DOWN
YOU JUST GO OVER THERE AND HAVE ONE MORE ROUND
IaLL DANCE WITH THE LADY AND WEaLL GET ON DOWN THE ROAD
SO HE WALKED AWAY AND LEFT ME ALONE
AND THIS FUNNY LOOKINa FELLER KEPT COMINa ON
AND HE WAS MAKINa ME MAD AT SOME OF THE THINGS HE SAID
WELL THEN HE PUT HIS HAND ON MY KNEE
I SAID IF YOU DONaT GET YOUR PAW OFF ME
IaM GONNA LOCATE YOUR NOSE AROUND ON THE SIDE OF YOUR HEAD
HE SAID I LOVE IT WHEN YA GET THAT FIRE IN YOUR EYE
I SAID WELL PARTNER TRY THIS ON FOR SIZE
AND I UNLOADED ON HIM HE WENT OUT LIKE A LIGHT
EVERYBODY IN THAT PLACE MUST A BEEN HIS FRIEND
THEY ALL HEADED FOR ME I SAID THIS IS THE END
BUT WHERE I COME FROM WE DONaT GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT
THEY WERE SCREAMINa AND YELLIN AND SCRACTINa AND CLAWINa
I WAS PUNCINa AND HITTINa AND KICKINa AND PAWINa
I WAS HOLDIN MY OWN CAUSE IaVE BEEN IN A SCRAP OR TWO
OLE JIM COME RUNNINa UP OUTTA THE BLUE
AND THAT GAL HE WAS WITH CAME RUNNINa UP TO
AND PROCEEDED TO BEAT ON ME WITH A HIGH HEEL SHOE
I GRABBED HER BY THE HAIR IT COME OFF IN MY HAND
AND BEAUTIFUL GIRL WAS JUST A BEAUTIFUL MAN
AN OLE JIM JUST GOT SICK RIGHT THERE ON THE FLOOR
HE DROPPED THAT DUDE LIKE A SHOT FROM A GUN
SMEARED HIS LIPSTICK MADE HIS MAKE UP RUN
AND ME AN OLE JIM STARTED FIGHTINa OUR WAY TO THE DOOR
MAN WE LIT OUT A THERE IN THAT CHEVROLET
AND I PUT HER ON THE FLOOR AND SHE STAYED THAT WAY
WE WAS GOINa DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOINa ?BOUT A HUNDERED AND TEN
WE WAS HEADED FOR HOME AND WE WAS GETTINGa NEAR IT
THEN A RED LIGHT CAME ON IN THE REARVIEW MIRROW
AND THAT SAME BLAMED COP WAS PULLINa US OVER AGAIN
WELL IaM SETTINa HERE IN THIS COUNTY JAIL
I HAD TO CALL MY DADDY TO GO OUR BAIL
BUT I LEARNED ME A LESSON THAT I NEVER WILL FORGET AGAIN
I DONE GIVE UP DRINKINa IaVE GIVE UP BARS
AND RUNNINa ROUND THE COUNTRY IN SOUPED UP CARS
GOINa BACK TO WHERE THE WOMEN ARE WOMEN AND THE MEN ARE MEN
I cannot for the life of me think of it.
It is a song though... I know but I don't know!
Wait for Tommy, Tex, or Okie.... They will surely know!!!
Have a good day!
Cotton Picker's got the words rigfht as I remember, but I thought the title was Uneasy Rider 1989, not 1988. I could be wrong. It's the Charlie Daniels Band, not Waylon or Merle.
