Lyrics
Randy's Got a Shimmy in His Tires
Words and music by Steve Farber
Randy flicked his cigarette when I came around the bend
Maybe hoping I'd forget he was doing it again
And as he shut the hood of his Trans Am
His Crooked smile said he don't give a damn
And I hope the open road will bring him all that he desires
But Randy's got a shimmy in his tires
I met him back in middle school when he stood up to the man
He happily broke every rule, and I became his biggest fan
All the teachers said he had appeal
But the kid's just got a wobble in his wheels
He taught me how to smoke a joint and inhale a cigarette
And pretty soon he learned to drive in his mother's black Chevette
I got my cap and gown he got a GED
And a pretty girl and maybe two or three
And I hope the open road will bring him all that he desires
But Randy's got a shimmy in his tires
And maybe he will win this race and prove they're all liars
But Randy likes that shimmy in his tires
Now he's got the kind of confidence makes you wonder if it's real
Sometimes his words make common sense sometimes they make you feel
That he's telling you the things you wished were true
Like just how deeply he believes in you
He said that he would liberate her
Tell her friends we'll dig ya later
Step on the accelerator and peel out the miles
She would be his navigator
All the way to the equator
And maybe he'd reciprocate her love after a while
And I hope the open road will bring him all that he desires
But Randy's got a shimmy in his tires
And maybe he will win this race and prove that they're all liars
But Randy likes that shimmy in his tires
He brushed the dirt off of the door and slid behind the wheel
He's not waiting here a moment more she didn't live up to the deal
I waved goodbye as he drove through the dust
And I brushed away that feeling in my gut
I really hoped the open road would bring him all that he desired
But Randy had a shimmy in his tires
On that day he lost control and set the mountainside on fire
Randy liked that shimmy in his tires
And he never fixed that shimmy in his tires
Shimmy shimmy, shimmy shimmy
