Lyrics
County clinic four miles past the creek
Ambulance five minutes out
The fifth battery flat dead
Back the truck up
10 -4 on the radio, incoming code
Old farmer had a spell down on
Howler Road Looked at the crash cart sittin' by the wall
Battery light blinkin' red, no juice at all
No time to order parts, no time to cry
Ain't lettin' no neighbor on our mountain die
Backed my 4x4 right to the screen door
Ran the heavy jumper cable straight across the floor
Red clamp to positive, black clamp to ground
Loudest damn alternator in the whole town
Rev up that small black, let the 12 volts by we're gonna charge this
to feel through the roof tonight jump start that ticker like a seven
two gear ain't no panic in the back was round here crank
up the joes watch the bus bars blow country boy be your male put
what's on the show two hundred three hundred charge to the t
bringing down the spark from the wires
The Navy
Clear the bed
Keepin' old neighbors from sleepin'
the dead
And I'm gambling skidded in the gravel and the dust
All the patient inside to the crew they trust
Slapped on the pedals, green light was steady
Thanks to my GMC, she was fully ready
One clean shot, got his pulse back straight
Loaded in the bag, through the clinic gate
Doc slapped my back, said you crazy, son of a gun I said, just an
average Tuesday when the jive jumpin' up
Jumpstart that ticker like a 7 -2 deer
Ain't no panic in the backwards round here
Crank up the jewels, watch the bus bars glow
Country boy, be your man, put puts on a show 200, 300,
charge to the T
Bringin' down the spark from the wires beneath
Clear the bed,
keep an old never from sleeping
With the day
Unhook the cables
Shut the tailgate He's gonna like it
Good truck
you
