Johnny Bond - Hot rod lincoln

^ENow you’ve heard the story of the hot rod race ^AWhen the Ford and the Mercury were setting the pace ^EThat story is true I'm here to say ^B‘Cause I was driving that Model A

^EIt's got a Lincoln motor and it’s really souped up ^AThat Model A body makes it look like a pup ^EIt's got eight cylinders use them all ^BWith an overdrive that just won't stall ^EGot a four barrel carb and dual exhaust ^AFour eleven gears really get lost ^EGot safety tubes and I’m not scared ^BBrakes are good and the tires are fair

^EWe left San Pedro late one night ^AThe Moon and the stars were shinin’ bright ^EAnd that thing went flyin’ up the Grapevine Hill ^BWe were passing cars like they were standing still ^EAnd all of a sudden like the flick of an eye ^AA Cadillac sedan passed us by ^EThe mark was made that’s the car for me ^BBut then the tail lights was all you could see ^EWell the fella’s ribbed me for being behind ^ASo I started to make that Lincoln unwind ^ETook my foot off the gas man alive ^BI shoved it down into overdrive

^EBut I wound it up to a 110 ^ATwisted the speed-o-meter cable off hand ^EHad my foot be cleared the floor ^BSays that's all there is ain't no more ^EWent around the corner passed a truck ^AI crossed my fingers just for luck ^EThe fenders clicking the guard rail posts ^BThe guy beside me white as a ghost ^EI guess they thought I had lost a sense ^AThe telephone posts looked like a picket fence ^EHe said slow down I see spots ^BThe lines on the road they just look like dots ^ESmoke was rolling out from the back ^AWhen I started to gain on that Cadillac ^EI knew I could catch him and I hope I could pass ^BWhen I did I’ll be short on gas

^EWent around the corner with the tires on the side ^AYou could feel the tension man what a ride ^EI said hold on I got a license to fly ^BAnd the Cadillac pulled over and let me by ^EAnd all of a sudden the rod started knockin’ ^ADown in the dips it started rockin’ ^EI looked in the mirror the red light was blinkin’ ^BThe cops were there for my hot rod Lincoln ^EWell, they arrested me and they put me in jail ^AI told my Pop to throw my bail ^EHe said son you gonna drive me to drinkin’ ^BIf you don’t quit drivin’ that hot rod Lincoln
