[Chorus]
C5 Slow down, little Jaguar C5 Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford
[Verse 1]
C5 Ten miles stretch on an Indiana road C5 T'was a sky blue Jaguar and a Thunderbird Ford C5 Jaguar setting on ninety-nine C5 Tryin' to beat the Bird to the county line C5 Just a half-a-mile from Ludenville C5 Had a speed sign sitting at the top of the hill C5 It said, "35 miles, and stay in line" C5 But the Jaguar and Thunderbird never read the sign
[Chorus]
N.C.
Slow down, little Jaguar
C5 N.C.
Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford[Verse 2]
C5 Ludenville was a real small town C5 Had a hundred and two and nine acres of ground C5 Some stool pigeon put the sheriff wise C5 Told him, "Park down in Ludenville and catch 'em guys" C5 Sheriff laid low down, hid in the weeds C5 Parked for eight days, didn't nobody speed C5 All of a sudden, dust rose on the road C5 Said, "Here come the Jaguar and Thunderbird Ford"
[Chorus]
N.C.
Slow down, little Jaguar
C5 N.C.
Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford[Verse 3]
C5 Sheriff doubled clutched second, put it in third C5 Took right after the Jaguar and Thunderbird C5 He knew he'd get a bonus and a big fat fine C5 If he caught 'em 'fore they crossed that county line C5 Sheriff never drove his car a hundred and flat C5 But if he aimed to get 'em, he'd have to do more than that C5 Crest of the hill, is about a yard behind C5 There wasn't but two more miles to the county line
[Chorus]
N.C.
Slow down, little Jaguar
C5 N.C.
Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford[Verse 4]
C5 Old Sheriff was countin' on the downward grade C5 With the tall wind pushin', he had it made C5 Thunderbird saw the Jaguar gainin' speed C5 And waved "Goodbye, Jaguar" and pulled in the lead C5 Jaguar said, "You ain't won the race yet" C5 And pulled back around the Bird like a sabre jet C5 Sheriff's front bumper was a yard behind C5 When the T-Bird, Jaguar crossed the line
[Chorus]
N.C.
Slow down little Jaguar
C5 N.C.
Keep cool little Thunderbird Ford[Outro]
C5 Slow down, little Jaguar C5 Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford C5 Slow down, little Jaguar C5 Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford C5 Slow down, little Jaguar C5 Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford C5 Slow down, little Jaguar C5 Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford
