Sorta Reagan clip 2:36 – 13:14
Drug store drivin

35. When summer rolls around
Well he don't like resistance I know
He told me one night on his big TV show
He's got him a medal he won in the war
Weighs five hundred pounds and sleeps on his floor
He's a drug store truck drivin man
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
When summer rolls around
He'll be lucky if he's not in town
He's been like a father to me
He's the only DJ you can hear after three
I'm an all night musician in a rock 'n' roll band
And why he don't like me, I can't understand
