Low Rider - 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, a survivor from the law, oh yeah

And if you cheat him, he will even up the score, oh

He’s a traveller, an unraveler 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

He’s got the power, he’s like lightning from the skies

He’s a low rider, oh, hey hey

I said low rider, oh oh oh oh, hey

He’s been down in the ground

He’s been kicked and he’s been pushed around

But now he’s coming back, coming back to claim his crown, hey, alright

Rider passed by, rider passed by the local sheriff, uh

Sheriff chased him, started chasing him with his gun

The rider lost him, lost him in the backstreets, oh yeah

Then he burned the town up, burned the town up just for fun

Sheriff got mad, said: 'I'm gonna get thet rider'

He couldn’t stand to see the rider running free

He told the deputy: 'Go 'round up, up the posse, oh'

He said to meet him outside Smokey Joe’s Cafe

The rider came down through the town

The sheriff’s men they cut him down

Low rider, now they’ve finally got your crown

I said: 'Ah!'

Low rider, low rider …
