Hey little girl, standing on the corner
Today's your lucky day for shure, all right
Me and my buddy, we're from New York City
We got two hundred dollars, we want to rock all night
Girl, you're lookin' at two big spenders
Why, the world don't know what me and Wayne might do
Our pa's each own one of the World Trade Centers
For a kiss and a smile I'll give mine all to you
C'mon baby, take a seat on the fender, it's a long night
Tell me, what else were you gonna do?
Just me and you, we could ...
(Chorus)
Little girl, sittin' in the window
Ain't seen my buddy in seven days
County man tells me the same thing
He don't work, and he don't get paid
Little girl, you're so young and pretty
Walk with me and you can have your way
Then we'll leave this Darlington City
For a ride down that Dixie Highway
(Chorus)
Driving out of Darlington County
I seen the glory of the comin' of the Lord.
Driving out of Darlington County
Seen Wayne handcuffed to the bumper of a state trooper's Ford.
Sha-la la la la la la la
sha-la la la la la la
Sha-la la la la la la la
La-la la la la la la.
