He was the long-haired hippie who went into a country bar. They started a fight with him. To divert their attention and get out of the situation, he created the story. Great reaction!

It was a country bar in the middle of nowhere and he was the long haired hippie dude. They came in cause they knew the car wasn’t a local and it had that kinda stickers on it. He got out of trouble by thinking fast and running a story that distracted them. A similiar song about a guy escaping a bar fight he couldn’t win is ‘Gimme Three Steps’ by Lynyrd Skynyrd a southern rock band, which means they were in between country and long haired rock back in the 70s, like CDB. The story is true though, one of the band my members was talking a bar with a woman and her boyfriend came in and was a big angry dude. .

So many common knowledge (at the time) references in this song are lost to present day listeners, but I never would have thought "four-on-the-floor" would be one of them, nor why he asked the bar tender for change for a dollar (to use the pay-phone). The social/political dynamic used to define the characters and defeat the antagonist was brilliant storytelling. It would perhaps have been helpful to have seen "Easy Rider" and you might like to react to Charlie's song "Long Haired Country Boy".

In this song he is the hippy dude, he is traveling through the South (country boy territory). Let's not forget that he went into a "redneck looking bar" (The Dew Drop Inn). Yes was accusing "GREEN TEETH" of being a spy to get a chance to make a break for it. In the final line he asks if people would think he's crazy for going to L.A. (Southern California) through Omaha (city in Nebraska which is positively a Northern state). You really need to check his song "TRUDY".

I just have to say that grown men not knowing what "four on the floor" means just hurts my soul. I can understand Gen Z not knowing, they don't know anything, but older Millennials should know.

I still have a '91 Chevy Silverado stepside (from when a stepside had four, not two steps, so four people could stand around the bed of the truck and shoot the shite, with one foot propped up on a step). It has a 350 V8 and a 5-speed in the floor. I love my truck. Too bad my ex blew up the engine so I couldn't drive and catch him fooling around on me. I'd rather he'd just gone on and got out, and left my truck alone.

Ha - I met a small town cop once who said he pulled over a car load of teenagers one night with beer in the car. He made them pour the beer out, and he was going to just send them straight home, but he also found a bottle of whiskey under the front seat. The kid who was driving went white and said, "Officer, the beer is ours, and we admit to that, but this is my daddy's car, and that's his bottle of whiskey. If it's not there when I get home, I'll be in even bigger trouble than I already am." The cop glared at the kid and made him swear that everyone was going straight home, and told him the only reason he was letting him go was "only because I know your daddy." LOL

As a guy who grew up in the south, with long hair down to the middle of my back ever since the 7th grade, yea, while I wasn't a hippie, I still caught no end of flack for my long hair. From being called a hippie to folks at a restaurant calling me ma'am before they realized I was a guy (a reference to that sort of thing in the Bob Seger song, Turn the Page which you've reacted to as well), It was fairly normal to tuck your hair up under your hat to avoid dealing with the prejudice you'd face at times because of it. Another song that talks about that is "Signs", the group Tesla does a great rendition of that.

4 on the floor was from early automotive terms, there were multiple transmission styles, even before an automatic. The two most common were 4 on the floor or 3 on the tree (the steering column) but the tree style got phased out as the floor allowed more room for more gears which results in higher potential speed and better fuel economy
