G G D
We tore up all of our swindle sheets, And left 'em settin' on the scales
D C
By the time we hit that Chi-town, Them bears was a-gettin' smart
G G
They'd brought up some reinforcements, From the Illinois National Guard
G F
[Bridge] There's armored cars, and tanks, and Jeeps, And rigs of ev'ry size
C G
Yeah, them chicken coops was full'a bears, And choppers filled the skies
G F
Well, we shot the line and we went for broke, With a thousand screamin' trucks
C G
An' eleven long-haired Friends a' Jesus, In a chartreuse micra-bus

Listen, you wanna put that micra-bus in behind that suicide jockey?
D C D
Yeah, he's haulin' dynamite, and he needs all the help he can get
C D C
[Verse 4] Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey shore, Prepared to cross the line
G D C
I could see the bridge was lined with bears, But I didn't have a dog-goned dime
D C
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck, "We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll"
G D
So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight, I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4"
[Chorus]
