Road Runner (Live at The Beach Club, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, 1963)

This is what happened one night outside of my house across the field
They was building a new highway or speedway or subway or something or other
But anyway, I was livin' pretty close to a road runner nest
I was living pretty close to the nest and every night about eleven o'clock
This is what I used to hear

Every night I used to hear that
I caught one passin' by my house one day and he was movin'
He was really movin', he wasn't shuckin' at all
He wasn't jivin'
And I got in behind him like this

Yeah, I'm gon' catch ya

I'm gainin' on that road runner

Come hеre road runner, come hеre
I'ma break up this nest

I wonder where that road runner go
Oh, there he is
Ah, hahahahaha
I got it
Wow, I gotta turn it loose

Do y'all think I'll catch that road runner?
Do you think I'll catch him?
You don't think I'll catch him?
Well, watch this, I'm gonna show you that I'm a road runner myself, hahahaha

I got one of his tailfeathers, hahahaha
I know he's fast
But I got one of his tailfeathers
He gon' run out of gas

Yeah, yeah
