Intro 1
My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive
me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln"
(E major) (A major) (B major) (E major)
Verse 1
Have you (E major) heard this story of the Hot Rod race
When the (A major) Fords and Lincolns
was settin' the pace
Said (B major) story is true, I'm here to say
(E major) I was drivin' that Model A

Verse 2
It's got a (E major) Lincoln motor and
it's really souped up
That (A major) Model A body makes it look like a pup
It's got (B major) eight cylinders, uses them all
It's got (E major) overdrive, just won't stall
Verse 3
With a (E major) 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
With (A major) 4.11 gears you can really get lost
It's got (B major) safety tubes, but I ain't scared
The (E major) brakes are good, tires fair
Verse 4
Pulled out (E major) of San Pedro late one night
The (A major) moon and the stars was shinin' bright
We was (B major) drivin' up Grapevine Hill
Passing (E major) cars like they was standing still
Interlude 1
(E major) (A major) (B major) (E major)
Verse 5
(E major) All of a sudden in a wink of an eye
A Cadillac (A major) sedan passed us by
I (B major) said, "Boys, that's a mark for me!"
By (E major) then the taillight was all you could see
Verse 6
Now the (E major) fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind
So I (A major) thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
Took my (B major) foot off the gas and man alive
I (E major) shoved it on down into overdrive
Verse 7
(E major) Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten
My spee (A major) dometer said that I hit top end
My (B major) foot was blue, like lead to the floor
That's all (E major) there is and there ain't no more
Verse 8
Now the (E major) boys all thought I'd lost my sense
And (A major) telephone poles looked like
a picket fence
They (B major) said, "Slow down! I see spots!
The (E major) lines on the road just look like dots"
Verse 9
(E major) Took a corner; sideswiped a truck
Crossed (A major) my fingers just for luck
My (B major) fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts
The guy (E major) beside me was white as a ghost
Interlude 2
(E major) (A major) (B major) (E major)
Verse 10
(E major) Smoke was comin' from out of the back
When I started (A major) to gain on that Cadillac
(B major) Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
Don't you (E major) know by then we'd be low on gas?
Verse 11
We had (E major) flames comin' from out of the side
(A major) Feel the tension. Man! What a ride!
I said, (B major) "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly!"
And that Caddy (E major) pulled over and let us by
Verse 12
Now (E major) all of a sudden she started to knockin'
And (A major) down in the dips she started to rockin'
I looked (B major) in my mirror; a red light was blinkin'
The cops (E major) was after my Hot Rod Lincoln!
Verse 13
They arrested (E major) me and they put me in jail
And called (A major) my pappy to throw my bail
And he (B major) said, "Son, you're gonna'
drive me to drinkin'
If you (E major) don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln!
