Verse 1
E
Now you've heard
the story of the hot rod race
A
When the Ford and the Mercury
was setting a pace
E
That story's true I'm here to say
B
Em
Cause I was a -driving that Model A
E
It's got a Lincoln motor
and it's really souped up
A
And that Mod el A body
makes it look like a pup
E
It's got eight cylinders and use them all
B
With an overdrive that just
Em
won't stop
E
Got a four -barrel carb and a dual exhaust,
A
four eleven gears that can really get lost
E
Got safety tubes and I'm not scared,
B
the brakes are good and
Em
the tires are fair
E
We left San Pedro late one night,
A
the moon and the stars was
shining bright
E
Everything went fine up the
Grapevine Hill,
B
we was passing cars
E
A
B
E
like they was standing still
Then all of a sudden, like the flick of an eye,
A
a Cadillac sedan passed me by.
E
The re mark was made,
that's the car for me,
B
but then the taillight was
Em
E
all you could see.
Well, the fellers ribbed me for being behind,
A
so I started to make
that Lincoln unwind.
E
Took my foot off the gas, man alive,
B
E
I shoved it down into overdrive.
Well, I wound it up to a hundred and ten
A
Twis ted the speedometer
cable off the end
E
Had my foot feet clear to the floor
B
Says, that's all there is,
E
ain't no more
Went around a corner and I passed a truck
A
I crossed my fingers just for luck
E
The fend ers clicking, the guardrail closed
B
E
The guy beside me white as a ghost
I guess they thought I'd lost my sense
A
The telephone poles looked
like a picket fence
E
He said, slow down, I see spots
B
The lines in the road,
E
they just look like
Smoke was rolling out of the back
A
when I started to gain on that Cadillac
E
I knew I could catch him
and I hoped I could pass,
B
but when I did I'd be short
E
A
B
on gas
E
Went around a corner
with the tires on the side,
A
you could feel the tension,
E
man what a ride I said hold on
I got a license to fly
B
and the Cadillac pulled
E
over and let me by
Then all of a sudden the
rod started knocking,
A
down in the depths she started a -rocking,
E
I looked in the mirror
and the red light was blinking,
B
the cops were there
E
for my hot rod lick ing.
Well they arrested me
and they put me in jail,
A
called my pop to go my bail,
E
he said, son,
you're gonna drive me to drinking
B
if you don't quit driving that
E
A
E
hot rod licking.
B
E
