Rattlesnake in the road
Gonna die but he don't know
Sun streaks his stripes of gold
Rattlesnake in the road
He's curled up in a knot
Thinks he's sleepin on a rock
Cars swerve but they don't stop
He's curled up in a knot
Oooooweeee
Oooooweeee
He can't hear but he can feel
Vibration of the wheel
So you can't scare him with your squeal
Cuz he can't hear but he can feel
Playin possum that's for sure
Ain't no way he feels secure
Better get on back to his den
Cause i got a notion to do him in
Ooooweeee
Ooooweeee
Well let's see how far he strikes
When i flatten his cold blood bite
He's the one that started this fight
I'm just tryin to make things right
Ooooweeee
Ooooweeee
Ooooweeee
