Nighthawkin'

Lyrics

I was a nighthawkin' in my taxi
 On a cruise below the deadline
 My fare was a shaky ol' lush
 So I kicked it over and took off
 Then he whipped out this switch blade
 Straight outta nowhere level to my throat
 He said "You ever been over to the war boy"
 I said "Man I was a combat paratrooper daddy"
 Well then he slump back cool and he pocket that steel
 He said "Take me down to Fourth and Main"
 Ah that paratroop bluff always cools oh the red eyed geezers down
 Man that last block that cat was singing
 Man he was sittin' in the backseat singing to me this song
 I got my VAR boy
 I got my M1 on my hip right
 You better listen mr president
 Oh boy don't you mess up with my war, boy
 I wanna do I wanna do
 Lord I wanna do the Blood Boogaloo
 I'm just a Redneck son of a gun
 I wanna kill me a gook before dawn
 Ah, night hawkin' for my change
