WarLow Rider Lyrics:
All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher
Low rider drives a little slower
Low rider is a real goer
Low rider knows every street, yeah
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

1 "Low Rider," an irresistible slice of Latin funk became the group's first
(and only) #1 R&B chart-topper, and peaked at number 7 on the Pop Singles chart
in 1975. A "lowrider" is the practice of hydraulically hot-rodding classic cars
so that they ride lower to the ground than normal. A "low rider" refers to the
person riding in said automobile.
