Cut Across Shorty Lyrics - Gasoline Alley - Rod Stewart

Now a country boy named Shorty 

and a city boy named Dan 

had to prove who could run the fastest 

to wed Miss Lucy's hand 

Now Dan had all the money 

and he also had the looks 

But Shorty musta had that something boys 

that can't be found in books 

Chorus: 

"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across" 

That's what Miss Lucy said 

"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across 

You know it's you that I wanna wed"

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Wait a minute 

Now Dan had been in training 

about a week before the race 

He made up his mind old Shorty 

would end in second place 

You know Dan with his long legs flying 

he left Shorty far behind 

Shorty heard him holler out 

Miss Lucy that you'll soon be mine 

(Chorus) 

But Shorty wasn't worried 

There was a smile upon his face 

'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race 

And just like that old story 

about the turtle and the hare, you know that thing 

when Danny crossed over the finish line 

he found Shorty waiting there 

(Chorus) 

It's you that I wanna wed, no no 

And oh Lord it's you I wanna wed 

It's you that I wanna wed
