Low Rider Songtext
von Jim Capaldi

He′s a rebel and an angel of the devil
You can't see him, but he′s always on the level
He's a driver, takes the power from below, oh yeah
And if you cheat him, he will even up the score, oh

He's a traveller and unraveller of your mind, yeah
He′s the high priest, freedom is his only shrine, oh
He′s the shadow, he can see behind your eyes, woo
He's got the power, he′s like lightning from the skies

He's a low rider, oh, hey, hey
I said a low rider, oh, oh, oh, oh, hey

He′s been down, hit the ground
He's been kicked and he′s been pushed around
Now he's coming back, coming back to claim his crown
Yeah, alright, woo


Rider passed by, rider passed by the local sheriff, woo
Sheriff chased him, started chasing him with his gun
The rider lost him, lost him in the back streets, oh yeah
Then he burned the town up, he burned the town up just for fun

Sheriff got mad, said, "I'm gonna get that rider"
Couldn′t stand to see the rider running free
He told his deputy, "Go round up all of our seed", oh
He said to meet him outside Smokey Joe′s Café

The rider came down through the town
Sheriff's men, they gunned him down
Low rider, now they finally got your crown
I said, oh, no, hey
Low rider, oh, low rider

Low rider, oh, woo
Low, low
Sheriff′s got your number, yeah
Watch out, low rider
Come on, low rider
Yeah, hey
