PAPPY SAID
SON YOU'RE GONNA
DRIVE ME TO DRINKIN'
IF YOU DON'T STOP
DRIVIN' THAT
HOT ROD LINCOLN
HAVE YOU HEARD
THE STORY
OF THE HOT ROD RACE
WHEN FORDS
AND LINCOLNS
WERE SETTIN' THE PACE
THE STORY'S TRUE
I'M HERE TO SAY
'CAUSE I WAS DRIVIN'
THAT MODEL-A
IT'S GOT
A LINCOLN MOTOR
AND IT'S REALLY
SOUPED-UP
THAT MODEL-A BODY
MAKES IT LOOK LIKE
A PUP
IT'S GOT
EIGHT CYLINDERS
AND USES 'EM ALL
GOT OVERDRIVE
THAT JUST WON'T STALL
WITH
FOUR-BARRELL CARB
AND DUAL EXHAUST
WITH
FOUR-ELEVEN GEARS
YOU CAN REALLY
GET LOST
GOT SAFETY TUBES
BUT I AIN'T SCARED
THE BRAKES ARE GOOD
AND THE TIRES ARE FAIR
PULLED OUT OF
SAN PEDRO
LATE ONE NIGHT
THE MOON AND STARS
WERE SHININ' BRIGHT
WE WAS DRIVIN' UP
GRAPEVINE HILL
PASSIN' CARS
LIKE THEY WERE
STANDIN' STILL
ALL OF A SUDDEN
IN THE WINK OF AN EYE
A CADILLAC SEDAN
PASSED US BY
I SAID BOYS
THAT'S A MARK FOR ME
BY THEN THE TAILLIGHTS
WAS ALL YOU COULD SEE
NOW THE FELLAS
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
WOUND IT OUT
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
THERE AIN'T NO MORE
NOW THE BOYS
ALL THOUGHT
I'D LOST MY SENSE
THEM TELEPHONE POLES
LOOKED LIKE
A PICKET FENCE
THEY SAID SLOW DOWN
I SEE SPOTS
THE LINES ON THE ROAD
JUST LOOK LIKE DOTS
TOOK A CORNER
SIDESWIPED A TRUCK
I CROSSED MY FINGERS
JUST FOR LUCK
MY FENDERS
WAS CLICKIN'
THE GUARDRAIL POST
THE GUY BESIDE ME
WAS WHITE AS A GHOST
SMOKE WAS COMIN'
FROM OUT OF THE BACK
WHEN I STARTED TO GAIN
ON THAT CADILLAC
I KNEW
I COULD CATCH HIM
I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS
DON'T YA KNOW BY THEN
WE'D BE LOW ON GAS
THEY HAD FLAMES
COMIN' OUT
FROM THE SIDE
YOU COULD FEEL
THE TENSION
MAN WHAT A RIDE
I SAID LOOK OUT BOYS
I GOT A LICENSE TO FLY
AND THAT CADDY
PULLED OVER
AND LET US BY
NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN
SHE STARTED TO KNOCK
AND DOWN
IN THE DEPTHS
SHE STARTED TO ROCK
AND I LOOKED
IN THE MIRROR
AND THE RED LIGHT
WAS BLINKIN'
THE COPS WERE AFTER
MY HOT ROD LINCOLN
THEY ARRESTED ME
AND PUT ME IN JAIL
I CALLED MY PAPPY
TO THROW MY BAIL
HE SAID
SON YOU'RE GONNA
DRIVE ME TO DRINKIN'
IF YOU DON'T STOP
DRIVIN' THAT
HOT ROD LINCOLN
