[Verse 1]
[G]Driving in to Darlington county
Me and Wayne on the Fourth of July
[G]Driving in to Darlington county
Looking for some work on the county line
[C]We drove down
from New York City
Where the girls are pretty
but they just want to know your name
[G]Driving in to Darlington City
Got a union connection
with an uncle of Wayne's
We [D]drove eight hundred miles
without seeing a cop
We got rock and roll music
blasting off the [C]T-top, singing

[Chorus 1]
[G]Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la la, la la la
[G]Sha la la, sha la la la la

[Verse 2]
Sha la la la, la la la
[G]Hey little girl, standing on the corner
Today's your lucky day for sure, all right
[G]Me and my buddy,
we're from New York City
We got two hundred dollars,
we want to rock all night
[C]Well girl, you're looking
at two big spenders
Why, the world don't know
what me and Wayne might do
[G]Our pa's each own
one of the World Trade Centers
For a kiss and a smile,
I'll give mine all to you
[D]Come on baby, take a seat on my fender
It's a long night, and tell me,
what else were you gonna [C]do?

[Chorus 2]
Just me and you, we could
[G]Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la la, la la la
[G]Sha la la, sha la la la la

[Interlude 1]
Sha la la la, la la la

[Verse 3]
[G]Little girl, sitting in the window
Ain't seen my buddy in seven days,
play it boys
[G]County man tells me the same thing
He don't work and he don't get paid
[C]Little girl, you're so young and pretty
Walk with me and you can [G]have your way
[D]And we'll leave this Darlington City
For a ride down that [G]Dixie Highway

[Verse 4]
[G]Driving out of Darlington County
My eyes seen the glory
of the [C]coming of the [G]Lord
[G]Driving out of Darlington County
Seen Wayne handcuffed to the bumper
of a [C]state trooper's [G]Ford

[Outro 1]
[C]Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la la, [G]la la la
[D]Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la la, [G]la la la
[C]Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la la, [G]la la la
[D]Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la la, [G]la la la
[Repeat and fade]
