Well a country boy named Shorty
Had to prove who could run the fastest
Now Dan had all the money
and he also had the looks
But Shorty must've had somethin'
boys that can't be found in books
Well cut across Shorty Shorty cut
across that's what Miss Lucy said
Cut across Shorty Shorty cut across
Now Dan with his long legs
flyin' left Shorty far behind
But Shorty could hear him holler
Miss Lucy you'll still be mine
But Shorty wasn't bit worried
with a smile upon his face
He knew that he was gonna win cause
Miss Lucy had fixed the race
Now Dan had been a training
mhm weeks before the race
And he was sure that little Shorty
would end up in second place
But just like that old story about
When Dan crossed the finish line he
found Shorty waitin' there
