    and left ’em settin’ on the scales
    by the time we hit that chitown

    they’d brought up some reinforcements
    from the illinois national guard
    there’s armored cars and tanks and jeeps
    and rigs of every size
    yeah them chicken coops was full of bears
    and choppers filled the skies
    well we shot the line
    we went for broke
    with a thousand screamin’ trucks
    and eleven long haired friends of jesus
    in a chartreuse microbus

    cb radio chatter

    prepared to cross the line

    but i didn’t have a doggone dime
