Standard guitar tuning: EADGBeNo capoE A7 E B7
EHave you heard this story of the hot rod race
When A7Fords and Lincolns was setting the pace
That Estory is true, I'm here to say
B7I was driving that Model EA
It's got a ELincoln motor and it's really souped up
That A7Model A body makes it look like a pup
It's got Eeight cylinders, uses them all
It's got B7overdrive, just won't Estall
With a E4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
With A74.11 gears you can really get lost
It's got Esafety tubes, but I ain't scared
The B7brakes are good, tires Efair
EPulled out of San Pedro late one night
The A7moon and the stars was shining bright
We was Edriving up Grapevine Hill
B7Passing cars like they was standing Estill
E A7 E B7
EAll of a sudden in a wink of an eye
A A7Cadillac sedan passed us by
I said, "EBoys, that's a mark for me"
By B7then the tail light was all you could Esee
Now the Efellas was ribbing me for being behind
So I A7thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
Took my Efoot off the gas and man alive
I B7shoved it on down into overEdrive
EWound it up to a hundred-and-ten
My A7speedometer said that I hit top end
My Efoot was glued like lead to the floor
That's B7all there is and there ain't no Emore
ENow the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
And A7telephone poles looked like a picket fence
They Esaid, "Slow down! I see spots!
The B7lines on the road just look like Edots"
ETook a corner, sideswiped a truck
A7Crossed my fingers just for luck
My Efenders was clicking the guardrail posts
The B7guy beside me was white as a Eghost
E A7 E B7
ESmoke was coming from out of the back
When I A7started to gain on that Cadillac
EKnew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
Don't you B7know by then we'd be low on Egas
We had Eflames coming from out of the side
Feel the A7tension, man, what a ride!
I said, "ELook out, boys, I've got a license to fly"
And that B7Caddy pulled over and let us Eby
ENow all of a sudden she started to knocking
And A7down in the dips she started to rocking
I Elooked in my mirror; a red light was blinking
The B7cops was after my hot rod ELincoln
EThey arrested me and they put me in jail
And A7called my pappy to throw my bail
And he Esaid, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinking
If you B7don't stop driving that hot, rod, ELincoln!"
