All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher
Yeah
The low rider drives a little slower
Low rider, is a real goer
Hey
Low rider knows every street, yeah
Low rider, is the one to meet, yeah
Low rider, don't use no gas now
The low rider don't drive too fast
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

| chasech5 (Ames, IA) | Posted: Dec 17, 2010 - 10:48 Actually, my local classic rock stations in IA and back in MI played it constantly. A local car dealership used it in their radio ads a few years ago. shampa1n wrote: Still like it,and where else would you hear it. |

Yep, the Cruise is upon us again soon! Alas, I'll have to settle for the American Graffitti version in Petaluma, as I won't be back in the Motor City for awhile. Do you know about the Rock Stars, Cars and Guitars event at the Henry Ford Museum? |

I haven't found it to be true that this is the only song people think of from WAR. Maybe it depends where one lives. I've found that people tend to remember "Spill The Wine", "The Cisco Kid" and "Why Can't We Be Friends?" as well. |

Thanks RP for making them live forever, as MUSIC INTENDS! |
