Kenny Price - Hot Rod Lincoln lyrics

Hot Rod Lincoln My pappy said, son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln [ guitar ] Now you've heard the story of the hot-rod race When the Ford and Lincoln was settin' the pace That story's true I'm here to say cause I was drivin' that Model-A Got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up that Model-A body makes it look like a pup Got eight cylinders'n uses them all got overdrive, just won't stall Got a four-barrel carb and dual exhaust 4-11 gears it can really get lost Got safety tubes but I'm not scared the brakes are good, tires fair Was out on San Pedro late one night the moon and the stars was shining bright We were drivin' up on Grapevine hill pa**in' cars like they was standin' still [ guitar ] Now all of a sudden in the wink of an eye a Cadillac sedan pa**ed us by I said boys that's a mark for me By then, the taillights was all you could see Well the fellers ribbed me for bein' behind So I thought I'd make that Lincoln unwind Took my foot off the gas and man alive I shoved it down into overdrive Well I wound her up to a hundred and ten my speedometer said I'd hit top end My foot was glued like lead to the floor that's all there is and there ain't no more Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense The telephone poles looked like a picket fence They said slow down I see spots the lines on the road just looked like dots Went around a corner and pa**ed a truck I crossed my fingers just for luck My fenders was clickin' the guard rail post The guy beside me was white as a ghost [ guitar ] Well smoke was comin' outta the back when I started to gain on that Cadillac I knew I could catch him, thought I could pa** Don't ya know by then we'd be low on gas Went around a corner, side-swiped the side you could feel the tension man what a ride I said hold on boys, I got a license to fly and the Caddy pulled over and let me by Now all of a sudden the rods started knockin' and down in the dip she started a'rockin' I looked in the mirror, red lights was blinkin' the cops was after my hot rod Lincoln They arrested me and put me in jail And I called my pappy to throw my bail And he said son you're gonna drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln [ guitar ]
