Hot Rod Lincoln
Lyricist:Charles S Ryan, W S Stevenson
Have you heard the story of the hot rod race that fatel day When the Ford and Mercury went out to play Well this is the inside story, and I'm here to say I was the kid that was drivin' that model A
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up And that a model a body makes it look like a pup It's got twelve cylinders and uses 'em all With an overdrive, that just won't stall
Got a four barrel carb and dual exhausts With four eleven gears, you can really get lost Got safety tubes and I'm not scared The brakes are good, and the tires are fair
We left San Pedro late one night The moon and the stars were shining bright Everything went fine at the Grapevine Hill We was Passin' cars like they was stand'n still
And all of a sudden, in the flick of an eye A Cadillac sedan had passed us by The remark was made there's the car for me' But by then the tail lights was all you could see
Well the fellas ribbed me for being behind So thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind Took my foot of the gas and man alive I shoved it on down into over drive
Well I wound it up to a hundred and ten Twisted the speedometer cable off the end Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Had my foot beat clear to the floor That's all there is and there ain't no more
Went around a corner and passed a truck I wispered a prayer just for luck The fenders was clickin' the guard rail posts The guy's beside me was white as ghosts
I guess they thought that I'd lost my sense And telephone poles looked like a picket fence They said, 'Slow down, I see spots' The lines on the road just looked like dots
Smoke was coming from outta of the back When I started to gain on that Cadillac I Knew I could catch him, and hoped that I could pass But when I did I'd be short on gas
Went around a corner with a car on the side you could feel the tension, man, what a ride I said, hold on I've got a license to fly' And the Cadillac pulled over and let me go by
And all of the sudden a the rods started to knockin' Went down in a ditch she started to rockin' I looked in my mirror, and a red light was blinkin' Cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln
Well they arrested me and put me in jail And called my pop to go my bail He said, 'Son, you're gonna to drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln'
