VERSE:
It was that life changing song on that white cassette
A melody I ll never forget
Get me a triple triple and a BCD
The good times will be on me
CHORUS:
Throw in the shifter 1, 2 and 3
Find me the queen of Portland street
Out in the five runner out in the rain
Me and G chasing hurricanes
(repeat the intro riff)
VERSE:
Come on Lanny cut me a deal
I work so hard and I never steal
And the 827 punched out my lights
Down at Rudy s last Saturday night
I know this road like the back of my hand
From the donair temple to the L-town sand
Me and G will meet you down in the dunes
With the moon and the tunes yeah we ll be there soon
CHORUS
