Song lyrics

I'm a charger
That charges through the night
Like an orange bolt of lightning
Passing everything in sight,
I'm the best pal the Duke boys' ever had,
I'm thunder on the highway looking bad, bad, bad.

I'm a knight
Like the kind in shining armor,
With my polished body gleaming
I'm a fighter and a charmer,
If trouble comes your way, just ask for me,
My friends all know me as the General Lee.

I'm the General Lee,
A piston pumping steel belted cavalry,
I'll never let you down when you're riding with me,
Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean.
Take a look back there,
Sirens blowing, red lights flashing everywhere,
We'll cross the field and we'll be running free,
They'll eat dust with compliments of me,
The General Lee.

I'm a hero,
And that's how I'll make you feel
When you're riding shotgun with me,
And the law is at your heels,
I'm glory-bound, and when the chase is done,
I'll take off through the mountains and have fun, fun, fun.

I've got style
Tearing through the curves
With my flag waving proudly to the people that I serve,
I'm number 1 and I'll always be
The pride of the South, they call the General Lee.

I'm the General Lee,
A piston pumping steel belted cavalry,
I'll never let you down when you're riding with me,
Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean.
Take a look back there,
Sirens blowing, red lights flashing everywhere,
I'll jump that pond, and we'll be running free,
And they'll go swimming compliments of me,
The General Lee,
The General Lee,
General Lee.
