FIVE MILE BLUES

I GO BY THE NAME OF FIVE MILE JOHNNIE

I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

MY NAME IS FIVE MILE JOHNNIE

I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

YES, I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

GETTING THERE SIX INCHES AT A TIME

RIGHT TURNS, LEFT TURNS, SUDDEN STOPS

I GET MY FIVE MILES BEFORE I POP

I DO MY DRIVING IN THE CONSENSUAL ZONE

NEVER TOO FAST, ALWAYS AT HOME

I GO BY THE NAME OF FIVE MILE JOHNNIE

I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

I GO BY THE NAME OF FIVE MILE JOHNNIE

I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

MY NAME IS FIVE MILE JOHNNIE

I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

YES, I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

GETTING THERE SIX INCHES AT A TIME

I START OUT SLOW, DON'T YOU KNOW

AND PICK UP SPEED AS I GO

PRIME ME, PUMP ME, TURN MY KEY

AND WE WILL GO ZERO TO SIX-TY.

I GO BY THE NAME OF FIVE MILE JOHNNIE

I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

I GO BY THE NAME OF FIVE MILE JOHNNIE

I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

MY NAME IS FIVE MILE JOHNNIE

I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

YES, I GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME

GETTING THERE SIX INCHES AT A TIME
