C5 Slow down, little JaguarC5 Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford [Verse 1]C5 Ten miles stretch on an Indiana roadC5 T'was a sky blue Jaguar and a Thunderbird FordC5 Jaguar setting on ninety-nineC5 Tryin' to beat the Bird to the county lineC5 Just a half-a-mile from LudenvilleC5 Had a speed sign sitting at the top of the hillC5 It said, "35 miles, and stay in line"C5 But the Jaguar and Thunderbird never read the sign [Chorus] N.C. Slow down, little Jaguar C5 N.C. Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford [Verse 2]C5 Ludenville was a real small townC5 Had a hundred and two and nine acres of groundC5 Some stool pigeon put the sheriff wiseC5 Told him, "Park down in Ludenville and catch 'em guys"C5 Sheriff laid low down, hid in the weedsContinues after the adC5 Parked for eight days, didn't nobody speedC5 All of a sudden, dust rose on the roadC5 Said, "Here come the Jaguar and Thunderbird Ford" [Chorus] N.C. Slow down, little Jaguar C5 N.C. Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford [Verse 3]C5 Sheriff doubled clutched second, put it in thirdC5 Took right after the Jaguar and ThunderbirdC5 He knew he'd get a bonus and a big fat fineC5 If he caught 'em 'fore they crossed that county lineC5 Sheriff never drove his car a hundred and flatC5 But if he aimed to get 'em, he'd have to do more than thatC5 Crest of the hill, is about a yard behindC5 There wasn't but two more miles to the county line [Chorus] N.C. Slow down, little Jaguar C5 N.C. Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford [Verse 4]C5 Old Sheriff was countin' on the downward gradeC5 With the tall wind pushin', he had it madeC5 Thunderbird saw the Jaguar gainin' speedC5 And waved "Goodbye, Jaguar" and pulled in the leadC5 Jaguar said, "You ain't won the race yet"C5 And pulled back around the Bird like a sabre jetC5 Sheriff's front bumper was a yard behindC5 When the T-Bird, Jaguar crossed the line [Chorus] N.C. Slow down little Jaguar C5 N.C.
