| Driving in to Darlington County |
| Me and Wayne on the Fourth of July |
| Driving in to Darlington County |
| Looking for some work on the county line |
| We drove down from New York City |
| Where the girls are pretty but they just want to know your name |
| Driving in to Darlington City |
| Got a union connection with an uncle of Wayne’s |
| We drove 800 miles without seeing a cop |
| We got rock and roll music blasting off the T-top, singing… |
| (CHORUS) Sha la la, sha la la la la Sha la la la, la la la |
| Sha la la, sha la la la la Sha la la la, la la la |
| Hey little girl, standing on the corner |
| Today’s your lucky day for sure, all right |
| Me and my buddy, we’re from New York City |
| We got $ 200, we want to rock all night |
| Girl, you’re looking at two big spenders |
| Why, the world don’t know what me and Wayne might do Our pa’s each own one of the World Trade Centers |
| For a kiss and a smile, I’ll give mine all to you |
| Come on baby, take a seat on my fender |
| It’s a long night, and tell me, what else were you gonna do? |
| Just me and you, we could… |
| (REPEAT CHORUS) |
| Little girl, sitting in the window |
| Ain’t seen my buddy in seven days |
| County man tells me the same thing |
| He don’t work and he don’t get paid |
| Little girl, you’re so young and pretty |
| Walk with me and you can have your way |
| And we’ll leave this Darlington City |
| For a ride down that Dixie Highway |
| Driving out of Darlington County |
| My eyes seen the glory of the coming of the Lord |
| Driving out of Darlington County |
| Seen Wayne handcuffed to the bumper of a state trooper’s Ford |
| (REPEAT CHORUS 3 TIMES) |
