Jitterbug Lyrics - Million Mile Reflections - Charlie Daniels Band

He wears a zoot suit with a reet pleat, 

Drives a '36 Cord with a rumble seat. 

He's a jitterbug; scare the letters off a highway sign. 

He drinks beer and eats bennies 

And chases it down with Thunderbird wine. 

Carries brass knuckles and a .44, 

Runs a loan shark business and a mary jane store. 

He's a jitterbug; keeps movin', don't sit still; 

If the law don't get him, some gun-totin' irate husband will. 

One day in September he stepped out of his Cord, 

Into the street to face a bullet-spittin' Ford. 

Now he's "Jitterbug," just a name in the news. 

He finally paid the price; 

He finally paid his dues.
