lyrics

Easy on the Jake brake
Honey don’t slow down
I couldn’t stop if I wanted
’Till this road levels out

Easy on the Jake brake
That’s not my style
Well I’ve been driving this rig
For two thousand miles

Well I was scooting up the hill
On my way to Humboldt County
Then I crested the peak
And I headed right down it

Well I was going pretty good
When I came to Lake County
I had to do a double take
For a sign when I found it

Easy on the Jake brake
That’s what the sign said
I guess this engine break
Is inside of the head

Easy on the Jake brake
Let ’er roll right along
I don’t need a jack hammer
I’m busy singing my song

I’ve seen an ant eater, barn door,
Aligator radio, bobtail, beer bait,
Chicken lights, cornflake
Easy on the Jake brake
Never gonna get it straight, whoa

Well I was haulin’ a load
Of tomatillos from Yolo County
A little kiss on the cheak
Cup of coffee then highway twenty

Well I was flipping a tape
Of Red Simpson over when I looked up
I had to do a double take
When I saw the sign they had cooked up

Easy on the Jake brake
Honey don’t slow down
I couldn’t stop if I wanted
’Till this road levels out

Easy on the Jake brake
That’s not my style
Well I’ve been driving this rig
For two thousand miles

I’ve seen an ant eater, barn door,
Aligator radio, bobtail, beer bait,
Chicken lights, cornflake
Easy on the Jake brake
Never gonna get it straight, whoa
