Today's your lucky day for sure, alright. 

Me and my buddy, we're from New York City. 

We got two hundred dollars, we want to rock all night. 

Girl, you're lookin' at two big spenders. 

Why, the world don't know what me and Wayne might do. 

Our Pa's each own one of the World Trade Centers, 

for a kiss and a smile I'll give mine all to you.

Tell me, what else were you gonna do? Just me and you, we could

ain't seen my buddy in seven days. 

County man tells me the same thing,

Little girl, you're so young and pretty, 

walk with me and you can have your way 

then we'll leave this Darlington City 

for a ride down that Dixie Highway.

Driving out of Darlington County, 

seen Wayne handcuffed to the bumper of a State Trooper's Ford.
