Rats Don't Race

Ronnie's totin' shingles up a ladder for Steve 'Cause Steve fixed Ronnie's transmission last week Friday night there'll be spaghetti, five dollars a plate To help get Curtis Wright's doctor bills paid Every able bodied man is a fire department volunteer The rats don't race around here They got thirty day credit at the hardware store You don't need a Mastercard to buy a two-by-four Saturday's for fishin' and Sunday's for church Here it ain't a career, it's five days of work A trash man's a trash man not a sanitation engineer The rats don't race around here Chorus: There ain't no need to ride a bus in to work each day Nobody's fightin' for a parkin' place You might get pa*sed on the road by an old John Deere But the rats don't race around here There ain't no need to ride a bus in to work each day Nobody's fightin' for a parkin' place You might get pa*sed on the road by an old John Deere Somebody wins a trophy at the drap strip every year But the rats don't race around here Ya'll, the rats don't race around here We like that domestic beer
