Rollin' down the highway, Runnin' by the cotton fields Saw a sign I know I want to see again Pretty young woman wearing skin-tight britches And a t-shirt wetter than a snakeskin Somebody said her name was Arlene And her daddy is a shotgun toting Kind of country man I just said "what was that name again" Ain't nobody gonna scare me away Gonna hold my breath till I take her away Arlene, hey are you comin' into town Arlene, don't let your daddy tie you down When you're sneaking out that window baby Don't you make a sound Do you want to boogie, are you into fool, Fool, foolin' around Well daddy ain't a working, He's a sitting in lawn chair Chewin on a mighty plug of Redman Pretty as a picture and He's got her chopping cotton Like a convict sweating on a chain gang Somebody oughta break her out of that scene She's enough to make you want to do the old man in Hey, what was that name again Ain't no use in tryin' to settle me down I'm a fool, I'm a downright clown clown for Arlene Arlene, hey are you comin' into town Arlene, don't let your daddy tie you down When you're sneaking out that window baby Don't you make a sound Do you want to boogie, are you into fool, Fool, foolin' around Sitting in a bacco patch feeling like a weasel I'm a waitin' on the lights to go dim Wonderin' if my backside might be Full of bullet shots Before she gets away from him Ain't nobody gonna scare me away Gonna hold my breath till I take her away Arlene, hey are you comin' into town Arlene, don't let your daddy tie you down When you're sneaking out that window baby Don't you make a sound Do you want to boogie, are you into fool, Fool, foolin' around When you're sneaking out that window baby Don't you make a sound Do you want to boogie, are you into fool, Fool, foolin' around Come on Arlene I see you got that red dress on This is it
