Jeepin'

I was bouncing along down in four-wheel low,
The road was rough and the goin’ was slow,
Now the puddle ahead didn’t seem too deep
Cuz I was ridin’ high, yep I was drivin’ a jeep. 

But when I hit that mud now, I started to drift,
So I clutched it hard but I missed my shift.
I was stuck for sure, I couldn’t make it move.  
I weren’t rigged for muddin’, I was stuck in a groove!

Well some good ol’ boys come a ramblin’ along
“We’ll get ya out, but It sure seems wrong.
Next time ya’ll get yourself stuck in a seep
You’ll need a wench on the front of yer jeep!”

Well I washed my rig, cuz I’d just got paid
And headed on in to the big parade.
When I got to town, I was feeling real good
So I picked up my gal and put her up on the hood.

When I turned the bend you should’a heard ‘em yell
Just to see my Rosie up there shakin’ her tail.
Them good ol’ boys were goin’ beep, beep, beep
Cuz I had a wench on the front of my jeep!

This is so cute Dean. I love your play on words. This kind of reminded me of my Dunebuggy days. : )

All I ever did in a dune buggy was get stuck. It wasn't until years later that I learned you should lower your tire pressure. Silly me. Glad you enjoyed this. - Dean

Thanks Maria. I like to go for jeep rides but this is mostly fiction. I did get stuck in the mud without a winch once though. And yes, we will assume that Rosie really hammed it up and enjoyed the attention! - Dean
