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