Out of Greeville South Carolina 
From the Road House Owl Club Him and Sister Rosa 
Down to Dallsa and the Dew Drop Inn 
The farthest a man can go and back again 

It was in Macon at an all night diner 
Trying to catch some it was me he took a shine`ta 
Said I better give him some of my old clothes 
He`s in the wrong place wrong time and nobody knows 

His real name was S.Q.Reeder 
Everybody knew him as Esquerita 
Black Flash Gordon Rocket `58 
The rock around was busting out interstate 

Thru the green door there`s a gospel sound 
Dressed in sequins war paint listen to him holler 
I guess the Georgia peach came a little too late 
Houlaaa 

His real name was S.Q.Reeder 
Everybody knew him as Esquerita 
Black Flash Gordon Rocket `58 
The rock around was busting out interstate 

Been a long time here in California 
Western Union I heard from Sister Rosa 
The telegram said S.Q. had passed away 
Well now preacher what you gotta say 

His real name was S.Q.Reeder 
Everybody knew him as Esquerita 
Black Flash Gordon Rocket `58 
The rock around was busting out interstate 

His real name was S.Q.Reeder 
Beat up on his woman with a vacuum cleaner 
Black Flash Gordon Rocket `58 
The rock around was busting out interstate
