root boy slim - big yeallow streetsweeper lyrics

Loading...

yeah yeah
i’m gonna tell you a story that happened to me in 1980

you know sometimes i don’t know right from wrong
i, oh as my mother said, “i go off my ka-zip”
the psychiatrists they have the words for it, but

i traded my tv and my vcr
didn’t have no use for ’em anymore
for a guitar
named that guitar little freaky

i was gonna change my name from root boy slim
to “guitar get down and be guitar get down with little freaky”

i decided i’d take that guitar up from florida to georgia in my thunderbird
maybe i could get a lesson and learn how to play a little bit
i wanted to marry that guitar

so i took that guitar to macon, georgia
took it around to feel her in the old country places
where my ancestors come over
in king george’s time

and then i took that guitar up to atlanta
i was in the atlanta hilton
somebody had stole the keys to my thunderbird
my car was locked up, i couldn’t get my guitar

i went crazy for little freaky
i could hear little freaky callin to me
so i busted up and got in a big fight in the parking garage
and had to leave town

but as i was walking out of atlanta georgia
a strange thing happened to me
one of the strangest things that ever happened to me
a lot of strange things have happened to root boy slim

i saw this
streetsweeper, streetsweeper on a construction site
i walked over to it
and lordy, it had the keys in it

i didn’t have no way to get back to flagler beach, florida
i-i-i
i guess i was a little crazy
but i climbed up in that streetsweeper
and it had the key in it

i turned the key over
yes it started right up
i’d never driven no construction machinery before
so i fooled with the levers and i fooled with the pedals

then i got it going forward
went down a big embankment, across the superhighway
n-body gonna get in my way with that big old streetsweeper
big yellow streetsweeper
sweep for me, in atlanta, georgia

i drove from atlanta, sweeping up a storm
i put that sweeper down
i was sweeping, yes i was
yeah yeah, i drove out of town

but then i stopped off at the jimmy carter center
yes i was looking for work
that’s where they got me

they put me in the pre-trial detention center
say the boy crazy
steal a streetsweeper?
yeah i did two months

two months in the pre-trial detention center
but people you know
i had so much fun on that streetsweeper
i think it was worth it
