Verse 1
Daddy (D major) said, girl, you go drive
me to drinkin'
if you don't stay out of that hot
rod Lincoln. (E major) (D major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
Have you heard the story of
the hot rod (G major) race
when the Fords and the Lincolns
were settin' the pace?
That (A major) story's true, I'm here to say.
(D major) I was drivin' that Model A.
It's got a Lincoln motor
and it's really souped up.
That (G major) Model A body
makes it look like a pup.
It's got (A major) eight cylinders
and it uses them all.
It's got (D major) overdrive and it just won't stall.
With a four -barrel car
and a dual exhaust with ra (G major) cing gears,
you can really get lost.
Got (A major) safety, too, but I ain't scared.
The (D major) brakes are good
and the tires are fair.
Pulled out of (G major) Charleston (D major) late one night,
the (G major) moon and the stars were
shining bright.
We were (A major) driving up Grapevine Hill
past the (D major) cars like they were
standing still. (B flat major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major)
All of a sudden in the wink of an eye
a Ca (G major) dillac sedan passed us by
(A major) I said, girls, that's a mark for me
By (D major) then the taillight was
all you could see
Gals all ribbed me for being behind
I (G major) thought I'd make that Lincoln unwind
Took my (A major) foot off the gas and man alive
I (D major) shoved it down in the overdrive
Wounded up to a hundred and ten,
(G major) speedometer said I hit top end,
my (A major) foot was glued like lead to the floor,
that's (G major) all there is, there ain't no (D major) more.
Now the girls all thought I'd
lost my sense,
some (G major) telephone poles were
like picket fence,
they (A major) said slow down, I see spots,
the (D major) lines on the road just look like dots.
Took a corner, side swiped a truck,
(G major) crossed my fingers just for luck,
my (A major) fender was clipping the guardrail,
(G major) close my hon (D major) ey beside me
was white as a ghost. (G major) (A major) (D major)
Smoke was coming from
out the (G major) back
when I started to (D major) gain on that Cadillac,
I knew (A major) I could catch him,
I thought I could pass,
don't you (G major) know by then I'd be
(D major) low on gas? (B minor)
(D major) Planes were coming from out the side,
(G major) feel the tension, man what a ride,
(A major) look out girls
I got a license to fly,
the (D major) caddy pulled over and let me by.
(G major) Now all of a sud (D major) den she started to knock
and (G major) down in the dips she started
to (D major) rock, I (A major) looked
And the mirror red light was blinkin'
The (D major) cops was after my hot Rod Lincoln
They arrested me and throwed me in (G major) jail
Called my daddy, post my bail
And he (A major) said, you're already done,
drove me to drinkin'
Cause you can't stay out of that
hot Rod Lincoln (D major) (G major) (A major) (D major) you
Hot Rod Lincoln
