Chorus:
C G
He's a drug store truck drivin' man
G C
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
C F
When summer comes rollin' around
F G C
We'll be lucky to get out of town
Verse 1:
C G
He's been like a father to me
G F C
He's like the only DJ you can hear after three
C F
And I'm an all night singer in a country band
F G F C
And if he don't like me he don't understand
Chorus
Verse 2:
He's got him a house on the hill
And he can play country records till you've had your fill
And he's a law man's friend he's an all night DJ
Sure don't think much like the records he plays
Chorus
Verse 3:
He don't like resistance I know
And he said it last night on a big TV show
He's got him a medal that he won in the war
Weighs 500 pounds and it sleeps by the door
Chorus (repeat the last line once)
