Beastie Boys - High Plains Drifter

High Plains Drifter(Lyrics)Cuz I'm the high plains drifter, and I'm the drifterThe high plains drifter, and I'm the drifterThey can't catch me they're never gonna find me They're never gonna know that I'm the high plains drifterPulled over to the river, to take a restPulled out a pair of pliers pulled a bullet out of my chestFear and loathing 'cross the country listenin' to my 8-trackI reached behind the seat and snatched a Kool from the packI'm long-distance from my girl and I'm talking on my cellularShe said that she was sorry and I said yeah the hell you werecheck the rear view mirror check the gold tooth displaycheck the odometer and I was on my wayCuz I'm the high plains drifter the best that you can getA strapped shoplifter a pirate on cassetteBust a Travis Bickle when I feel that I'm getting pushedDon't step to me cuz you could be gettin' mushedI'm doing 120 plowin' over mailboxesRadar detector to tell me where the cops isSpend another night at the Motel 6It's five dollars extra to get the p*rno flicksAnd then I concoct a black and tan in my brandy snifterI'ma kleptomaniac K-mart shoplifterCash flow gettin low so I had to pull a jobFound a nice place to visit but a better place to robI left the car outside and the engine still revvingTime to take care of business at 7-elevenAnd the I went inside to make my withdrawlI saw what he had had but I had to take it allKnuclehead deli tried to gyp me off the priceSo I clocked him on the turban with a bag of iceCuz I mellow like Jell-O cool like lemonadeI made my get a way and then I thought that I had it madeI feel like Steve McQueen, a Former movie starLooked in the rear view mirror seen the police carBallentine quarts with the puzzle on the capI couldn't help to notice I was caught in a speed trapDirty Mary Crazy Larry on the run from Dirty HarryStash the cash in the dash, but my gun I did carryI'm seeing blue and red flashing deep in the nightI got my alibi straight and I pulled over to the rightThe cop knocked on my window and said Boy, where's the fire?You got a mailbox on your bumper and a bald front tire"Outta the car longhair!" Your goose is cookedRead me my rights fingerprinted and bookedMaking like a DT, driving a grand furyWherever I hang my hat's my home and my past is kind of blurryEvery dog has his day mine will be in front of a juryHigh plains drifter you know that I'm never in a hurryRead me my rights as if I didn't know thisThrew me in the tank with a drunk called OtisWith his 5 o'clock shadow he smelled of 3 day old beerMy man turned to me and said, "Why are you here?"I said I'm charming I'm dashing I'm rental-car bashingI'm phony-paper passing at Nick's Check and CashingI went before the judge he sent my to the Brooklyn house of D.He said, "You behave or we'll throw away the key"Houdini'd out the cuffs, kicked the screw in the kneeI took the Bailiff's wallet and went straight to OTBI had a good feeling easy come easy goI bet on one horse to win and another and soAnd sure enough, that nag came inBrought my ticket to the window and collected my winAnd I broke into my new car with a wire coat hangerHot wired hot wheeled and, "Suzy is a headbanger"
