Rattlesnake ridge, five miles long
I'm gonna run it all night long
Gotta get to Gs bent, running out of time
Just ran a blockade 'round the Dallas county line
Law man's gaining ground
'Round the Boxacheta bridge
Doing what my daddy done
And what his daddy did
From a long line of shiners beating down the blacktop
Won't stop 'til I'm dead and gone
Ain't a road I don't know or been down
Like the one I'm a turning on
Rattlesnake ridge, five miles long
I'm gonna run it all night long
Took the ferry into Canton
Only way to get to town
Sheriffs waiting at the landing
There ain't a way to turn around
So, I jumped the Alabama river
And I left the Chevy loaded down
Waded in the water 'til my feet could hit the ground
Turned 'em on when I heard the turning loosen of the hounds
From a long line of shiners beating down the blacktop
Won't stop 'til I'm dead and gone
Ain't a road I don't know or been down
Like the one I'm a turning on
Rattlesnake ridge, five miles long
I'm gonna run it all night long
Made a break at twenty-eight
And I hit the road at yellow bluff
Find a route I learned about
When your family does this kinda stuff
You can outrun the best of 'em
But ya can't outrun your raisin'
Tuned up trucked and jars are what
You're gon' sip on from the mason
From a long line of shiners beating down the blacktop
Won't stop 'til I'm dead and gone
Ain't a road I don't know or been down
Like the one I'm a turning on
Rattlesnake ridge, five miles long
I'm gonna run it all night long
