Theme Tune
The General Lee- Johnny Cash
I’m a Charger
That charges through the night
Like an orange bolt of lightning
Passing everything in sight
I’m the best pal the Duke boys ever had
I’m thunder on the highway looking bad, bad, bad
I’m a knight
Like a kind in shining armor
With my polished body gleaming
I’m a fighter and a Charmer
If trouble comes your way just ask for me
My friends all know me as the General Lee
I’m the General Lee
A pistol pumping steel go cavalry
I’ll never let you down when you’re riding with me
Buckle up and I’ll show you what I mean
Take a look back there
Sirens blowing, red lights flashing everywhere
We’ll cross the field and we’ll be running free
They’ll eat dust with compliments of me
The General Lee
I’m a hero
And that’s how I’ll make you feel
When you’re riding shotguned with me
And the law is at your heels
I’m glory bound but when the chase is done
I’ll take off through the mountains and have fun, fun, fun
I’ve got style
Tearing through the curves
Let my flag wave proudly to the people that I serve
I’m number one and I will always be
The pride of the south they call the General Lee
I’m the General Lee
A pistol pumping steel go cavalry
I’ll never let you down when you’re riding with me
Buckle up and I’ll show you what I mean
Take a look back there
Sirens blowing, red lights flashing everywhere
I’ll jump that pond and we’ll be running free
And they’ll go swimming compliments of me
The General Lee

The Dukes of Hazzard follows the adventures of ‘The Duke Boys’, cousins Bo Duke (John Schneider) and Luke Duke (Tom Wopat), who live in a rural part of the fictional Hazzard County, Georgia with their attractive cousin Daisy (Catherine Bach) and their wise old Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle). They race around in their customized 1969 Dodge Charger stock car, dubbed (The) General Lee, evading crooked county commissioner Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) and his inept county sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (James Best), and always managing to get caught in the middle of the various escapades and incidents that often occur in the area. Bo and Luke had previously been sentenced to probation for illegal transportation of moonshine; their Uncle Jesse made a plea bargain with the U.S. Government to stop brewing moonshine in exchange. As a result, Bo and Luke are not allowed to carry firearms — instead, they often use compound bows, sometimes with arrows tipped with dynamite — or to leave Hazzard County
Quote
Luke Duke: There’s Twenty Million dollars out there in that bog.
Boss Hogg: Twenty million dollars? I knew them Dukes was a hatchin’ something. Roscoe…

Boss Hogg: We’re gonna be rich!
Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane: [squeeks] Are you kidding? Most likely we’ll be lunch. You’d make a nice fat little juicy snack for that monster, Boss
[laughs his Rosco laugh]
