I was cruising around town, just wasting my time;
Having no fun, ‘cause I hadn’t a dime
When a brotha steps up and he says, I suppose
You’re a dune rider, by your Glamis dunes clothes
He figures me right, I’m a new one I claim;
Do you happen to have any cheap ones to tame?
He says he’s got one, a rough one it seems
At flying through dunes it’s the best of the beams
I get a huge smile, and I ask what he wants
To take this old pile for a couple’a jaunts?
He said he’d take eight, and I said I’ll survive
The car never breathed that I couldn’t drive
He said get your torque wrench, I’ll give you a shot
In his pickup we jump and he shows what he’s got
The DuraMax flew and I held on tight
We got there in moments, oh what a sight
Out in the back yard standing alone
Is an old school buggy with weeds over grown
It’s engine was crusty, the seats were a bust
The headlights were hangin by the wires and rust.
Little shaved tires that held air up front
A huge Corvair engine left everything to want
Plug wires all bare with points all a mess
I could tell by the image it couldn’t be less
I get the wires connected and clean out the tank
Next comes the pedals, I give them a yank
Then I climb in and I give a big yell
Look out Mother Glamis, I’m ready to raise hell
I turn the ignition and it gives a big groan
Then I added the fuel that I got on a loan
It roared to life not any too soon
It sure is a loud one, it’s ready to dune.
I drop it in gear, the sound is too much
Next I gas it and let out the clutch
It fires all the pistons and lets out a gasp
The tires grab sand and launches it fast
I grab second gear and step on the gas
My neck is all twisted from the strength of the pass
I know there are buggies that blow me away
They shine in the sun and brighten the day
But they just don’t realize that I never lied
’Bout the day I became a duner and fired up my ole Clyde!
