I'm a charger

     Am
That charges through the night

        F
Like an orange bolt of lightning
Passing everything in sight

I'm thunder on the highway looking bad, bad, bad

I'm a knight

         Am
Like the kind in shining armor

With my polished body gleaming
I'm a fighter and a charmer

If trouble comes your way just ask for me

My friends all know me as the General Lee

                              Em
A piston pumpin' steel belted cavalry

Sirens blowing red lights flashing everywhere

We'll cross the field and we'll be runnin' free

When you're riding shotgun with me
And the law is at your heels

I'll take off through the mountains and have fun, fun, fun

Am
Tearing through the curves

With my flag waving proudly to the people that I serve

I'm number 1 and I'll always be

The pride of the South they call the General Lee
