All my friends know the low rider (yeah)
The low rider is a little higher (yeah)

The low rider drives a little slower
Low rider is a real goer

Hey

Low rider is the one to meet, yeah

Low rider don't use no gas now
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
