The High Plains Drifter and I'm the drifter

('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter drifter)

The High Plains Drifter and I'm the drifter

('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter drifter)

They can't catch me they're never gonna find me

('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter drifter)

They're never gonna know that I'm the High Plains Drifter

Pulled over to the river to take a rest

Pulled out a pair of pliers pulled the bullet out of my chest

Fear and loathing across the country listening to my 8 track

I reached behind the seat and snatched a Kool from the pack

A long distance from my girl and I'm talking on the cellular

She said that she was sorry and I said "yeah the hell you were"

Check my rear view mirror check the gold tooth display

Check out the odometer and I was on my way

'Cause I'm the High Plains Drifter the best that you can get

A strapped shoplifter a pirate on cassette

('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter drifter)

Bust a Travis Bickle when I feel that I'm getting pushed

Don't step to me or you're gonna get mushed

('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter drifter)

I'm doing 120 plowing over mail boxes

Radar detector to tell me where the cops is

Spend another night at the Motel 6

It's five dollars extra get the porno flicks

And then I concoct a Black and Tan in my brandy snifter

I'm a kleptomaniac K-Mart shoplifter

Cash flow getting low so I had to pull a job

I found a nice place to visit but a better place to rob

I left my car outside and the engine still revvin'

Taking care of business at 7-eleven

And then I went inside to make my withdrawal

I saw what he had had but I had to take it all

Knucklehead deli tried to gyp me on the price

So I clocked him off the turban with a bag of ice

Cause I'm mell-el-o like jell-el-o cool like lemonade

I made my getaway and then I thought that I had it made

I feel like Steve McQueen a former movie star

Look in my rearview mirror seen a police car

Ballantine quarts with the puzzle on the cap

I couldn't help to notice I was caught in a speed trap

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry on the run from Dirty Harry

Stash the cash in the dash but my gun I did carry

I'm seeing blue and red flashing deep in the night

I got my alibi straight and I pulled over to the right

The cop knocked on my window said "Boy where's the fire?

You've got a mailbox on your bumper and a bald front tire"

"Outta the car longhair your goose is cooked"

Read me my rights fingerprinted and booked

Makin' like a D.T. driving a Gran Fury

Wherever I hang my hat's my home and my past is kind of blurry

('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter drifter)

Every dog will have its day mine will be in front of a jury

I'm the High Plains Drifter you know that I'm never in a hurry

('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter drifter)

Read me my rights as if I didn't know this

Threw me in the tank with a drunk called Otis

With his five o' clock shadow he smelled of three day old beer

My man turned to me and said "Why are you here"?

I said I'm charming I'm dashing I'm rental car bashing

I'm phony paper passing at Nix Check Cashing

I went before the judge he sent me to the Brooklyn House of D

He said "You behave son or we'll throw away the key"

Houdini'd out the cuffs I kicked the screw in the knee

I took the bailiff's wallet and went straight to OTB

I had a good feeling easy come easy go

I bet on one horse to win and another to show

And sure enough that nag came in

Brought my ticket to the window and collected my winnings

And then I broke into my new car with a wire coat hanger

Hot wired hot wheeled and Suzy is a headbanger
