Lyrics: With his five o' clock shadow, he smelled of three day old beer I'm seeing blue and red flashing deep in the night I'm a kleptomaniac, K-Mart shoplifter ('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter, drifter) Wherever I hang my hat's my home and my past is kind of blurry ('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter, drifter) A strapped shoplifter, a pirate on cassette It's five dollars extra get the porno flicks Knucklehead deli tried to gyp me on the price Brought my ticket to the window and collected my win Pulled out a pair of pliers, pulled the bullet out of my chest The High Plains Drifter, and I'm the drifter "Outta the car longhair, your goose is cooked" A long distance from my girl, and I'm talking on the cellular I had a good feeling, easy come, easy go I went before the judge he sent me to the Brooklyn House of D 'Cause I'm the High Plains Drifter, the best that you can get Houdini'd out the cuffs, I kicked the screw in the knee And then I concoct a Black and Tan in my brandy snifter I'm the High Plains Drifter you know that I'm never in a hurry Radar detector to tell me where the cops is I made my getaway and then I thought that I had it made She said that she was sorry and I said "yeah, the hell you were" Spend another night at the Motel 6 Ballantine quarts with the puzzle on the cap I said I'm charming, I'm dashing, I'm rental car bashing Every dog will have its day, mine will be in front of a jury I feel like Steve McQueen, a former movie star Pulled over to the river to take a rest They can't catch me they're never gonna find me Read me my rights, as if I didn't know this ('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter, drifter) He said "You behave son or we'll throw away the key" Bust a Travis Bickle when I feel that I'm getting pushed The cop knocked on my window, said "Boy, where's the fire? Threw me in the tank with a drunk called Otis I couldn't help to notice I was caught in a speed trap ('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter, drifter) Check out the odometer and I was on my way I bet on one horse to win and another to show Stash the cash in the dash, but my gun I did carry You've got a mailbox on your bumper and a bald front tire" I reached behind the seat and snatched a Kool from the pack The High Plains Drifter, and I'm the drifter Look in my rearview mirror seen a police car Makin' like a D.T. driving a Gran Fury Fear and loathing across the country listening to my 8 track ('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter, drifter) ('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter, drifter) ('Cause I'm a High Plains Drifter, drifter) Cause I'm mell-el-o like jell-el-o, cool like lemonade I took the bailiff's wallet and went straight to OTB Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, on the run from Dirty Harry My man turned to me and said "Why are you here"? Don't step to me or you're gonna get mushed I'm doing 120 plowing over mail boxes Cash flow getting low so I had to pull a job I left my car outside, and the engine still revvin' So I clocked him off the turban with a bag of ice And then I broke into my new car with a wire coat hanger I'm phony paper passing at Nix Check Cashing They're never gonna know that I'm the High Plains Drifter Check my rear view mirror, check the gold tooth display And sure enough that nag came in I got my alibi straight and I pulled over to the right I saw what he had had, but I had to take it all I found a nice place to visit but a better place to rob Read me my rights, fingerprinted, and booked Taking care of business at 7-eleven And then I went inside to make my withdrawal Hot wired, hot wheeled, and Suzy is a headbanger |

Commentary"Reached behind the seat and snatch a cool one from the pack." I think MCA is talking about beer. Who the hell keeps their smokes behind their seat? user @TheCottonTop "Reached behind the seat snatched a Kool from the pack," the liner notes have grabbed instead of snatched, but both agree that it's a Kool. What fool keeps their smokes behind their seat? The fool who got busy with his girlie earlier in the back seat! user Suzy is a Headbanger is the name of the Ramones song. It is off of their 1977 album Leave Home. Paul's Boutique is arguably one of the best albums ever. I am not exaggerating. (I should also say that I am not a big B-Boys fan, but this album was WAY ahead of its time and I put it on a par with Sgt Peppers by the Beatles). . user Off Beastie Boys Best Album Ever user @flatl1n3 "every knucklehead cadet trying to get me in front of a jury.....(?) user Hell yeah user AdRock >> MCA >>>>the third guy user Ha! Cool.... I enjoyed this... user @fishbone3333 Concur....no one was sampling like this before PB dropped....everyone was after though... user Cool as fuck, disagree, shame on you. user @TheCottonTop Uhhh old people do. My mom and step dad both used to keep their cartons of cigarettes behing the seat in that pocket., Most cars to day do not have that pocket. They didn't keep a single pack back there but there was never not a carton. It was funny seeing this because she smoked Kools as well. Brings back old memories. Leave your comments: |
