G             C          G
Driving into Darlington County,
                     C         G
Me and Wayne on the Fourth of July
              C          G
Driving into Darlington County,
                              C      G
Looking for some work on the county line
C                   F        C
We drove down from New York City,
Where the girls are pretty but they
               F        C
just want to know your name
G             C          G
Driving into Darlington City,
                               C        G
Got a union connection with an uncle of Wayne's
          D
We drove eight hundred miles without seeing a cop,
                                                C
We got rock and roll music blasting off the t-top

Chorus:
 G                    C  G
Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la
Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la

Hey little girl, standing on the corner
Today's your lucky day for sure, all right
Me and my buddy, we're from New York City
We got $200; we want to rock all night
Girl, you're looking at two big spenders
Why, the world don't know what me and Wayne might do
Our pa's each own one of the World Trade Centers
For a kiss and a smile, I'll give mine all to you
Come on baby, take a seat on my fender
It's a long night, and tell me,
what else were you gonna do?
Just me and you, we could

Chorus:
Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la
Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la (Big Man)

Little girl, sitting in the window
Ain't seen my buddy in seven days
County man tells me the same thing
He don't work and he don't get paid
Little girl, you're so young and pretty
Walk with me and you can have your way
And we'll leave this Darlington City
For a ride down that Dixie Highway
Driving out of Darlington County
I've seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Driving out of Darlington County
Seen Wayne handcuffed to the bumper of
a state trooper's Ford

Chorus:
Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la
Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la
Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la
Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la
Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la
Sha la la, sha la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la
