Burn Out — текст песни (Hollies)

(clarke / sylvester / hicks)

Jimmys outside with his motor engine hummin

Sent me along to see if you were comin

Out onto the highway gonna break the city limits

Jimmys gettin ready gonna put his foot in it

Soft shoe louie drinkin with his floozy sue

Got the invitation the burn outs due



Id be a rebel when Im good and ready

Headin for the bar

Tell jimmy to cool it

But not to go too far



Burn out on highway nine

Theres gonna be a burn out on highway nine



Louie and jimmy didnt know about the plan

Cops out on the highway

Gonna take the job at hand

Been hidin out for louie gonna get him canned

Gonna catch him in the action

Hes gonna wanna make a stand



Jimmys impatient wants to burn on rubber

Hes gotta wait for louie

Cause there aint no other

The undisputed king of the road said "jimmy, Im ready you better shift your load"



Burn out on highway nine

Theres gonna be a burn out on highway nine

Cmon and get it, boy



Louie and jimmys out to have a fight

Shakin hands with the man below

Stokin out the flames

Flames burnin higher

One of them has gotta go

One of them has gotta go



Highway nine and theyre starting to roll

Jimmys hearts thumpin

Blood runnin cold

Louie looks over and gives a sly smile

Says look in your mirror boy

Cops are behind

Get a move on jimmy

Youre fallin for the trap

Theres only one winner

The loser takes the rap

Well, bye bye jimmy,

Dont wait for me inside

Im goin back to floozy sue

And thanks for the ride



Burn out on highway nine

Theres gonna be a burn out on highway nine

Burn out on highway nine

Theres gonna be a burn out on highway nine
