THE HELL'S ANGELS

I was walking home through the trees, it was getting late

That wasn't much to worry about in 1978

When I came from the woods, I hit the old dirt road

That's where old man Lester lived, and he was always home

The moon was nature's candle on that particular night

I was loving the mountains, thinking everything's so right

When Lester burst from his cabin, he gave me quite a fright

Ran past me on the dirt road, screaming with all his might...

~~~*1st Chorus*~~~

The Hell's Angels is coming inta town!

Load yer guns, and lock yer daughters in the house!

Ya better teach yer sons what fightin's all about!

Do ya hear me ya'll?... I ain't messin around!

The Hell's Angels

Is coming inta town!

~~*~~

I walked into our home, told Mama what Lester said

She laughed, "Pay no attention, he's not right in the head

You don't know my cousin Rylie, but he rides with them

He'll stop by when they get here, and introduce us to the men."

I know my eyes turned to saucers, at my Mama's words

There was not a soul in our town, who didn't admire her

She was sweet and quiet, unless you messed with us

Then she'd cut you to the bone, and she didn't even cuss

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

Now the Hell's Angels are coming into town

Daddy bought beer, and they're invited to the house

Both of my Brothers are jumping up and down

No problems here...just messing around

The Hell's Angels

Are coming into town

~~*~~

Yeah, you could hear them riding, no mistaking the sound

There's nothing like a bunch of Harleys shaking up the ground

There were nervous neighbors, lighting up the party lines

When Rylie, and about twelve buddies, pulled in our drive

They may have looked a little rough, but they were sure polite

The yes sir, No Mam, and Thank you kind of nice

The rest of them were waiting... uptown at the bar

Mama caught a ride with Rylie...Daddy followed in the car

The next thing I know , I heard Old Lester shout...

~~~*3rd Chorus*~~~

Lawd! The Hell's Angels is gittin outta town!

They done stole them kids' Mama right from the house!

Grab yer guns, and come on all you men!

Their Daddy's surely gonna die chasing after them!

Do Ya hear me Ya'll? ...I ain't messin around!

The Hell's Angels

Is gittin outta town

~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~

Took us half the night

To calm poor Lester down

We felt bad about the duct tape

The only way to shut his mouth

We set the neighbors straight

There was laughter all around

Oh, we still love to talk about

The Hell's Angels in our town
