The Funky Grass Band

Red Lane - Dottie West

© Tree Pub, BMI

A small town in Kentucky that's called Hazzard
Has been known to lay some talent on this land
Gave birth to a group that's really happenin'
Eli Stubbs and his Funky Grass Band

Now the Funky Grass Band hits the stage a grinnin'
Their pickin' really turns a body on
Now I don't think the band makes too much money
Cause they been seen a smokin' roll your own

And the yellow bus come wheelin' down the highway
Headin' for another one night stand
With the women screemin' faint and throw their the babies
And Eli Stubbs and his Funky Grass Band
[ instrumental ]
Now Eli's a little older and short and stubby
And he's bald as an eagle in the back
But he kept it hid from all the friends and neighbors
One night the band got high and smoked his hat

So Eli bought himself a brand new toupet
It was long and shaggy and sorta orangey red
One night the fiddle player was at the microphone
He bowed that rug right off the Eli's head

The yellow bus come wheelin' down the highway...

One night they were a traveling through the Ozarks
And Eli had the answer nature's call
He told the driver to find a fillin' station
Man I gotta see a man about a dog

They drove on from miles around the mountain
Eli finally hollered hey just stop here anyway
Well driver pulled too close to the canyon
And Eli almost ended his career

The yellow bus come wheelin' down the highway...
Eli Stubbs and his Funky Grass Band
