Rats Don't Race Lyrics - Singles - Ray Scott

Ronnie's totin' shingles up a ladder for Steve 

'Cause Steve fixed Ronnie's transmission last week 

Friday night, there'll be spaghetti, five dollars a plate 

To help get Curtis Wright's doctor bills paid 

Every able bodied man is a fire department volunteer 

The rats don't race around here 

They got thirty day credit at the hardware store 

You don't need a Master Card to buy a two-by-four 

Saturday's for fishin' and Sunday's for church 

Here, it ain't a career, it's five days of work 

A trash man's, a trash man not a sanitation engineer 

The rats don't race around here 

There ain't no need to ride a bus in to work each day 

Nobody's fightin' for a parkin' place 

You might get passed on the road by an old John Deere 

But the rats don't race around here 

There ain't no need to ride a bus in to work each day 

Nobody's fightin' for a parkin' place 

You might get passed on the road by an old John Deere 

Somebody wins a trophy at the drag strip every year 

But the rats don't race around here
