The Dukes Of Hazzard Soundtrack, 1982
Written by Thom Bresh and Johnny Cash
Recorded for the TV show, this song is written from the point of view of the car from "The Dukes of Hazzard!" It joins a small but undoubtedly proud group of songs narrated by vehicles. "I'm the General Lee / A piston pumpin' 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." Well, you tap your toe, because Cash could make the phone book sound compelling, but the Dixie-themed jingoism doesn't really play well these days.
