Hot Rod Lincoln Lyrics

Charlie Ryan And The Timberline Riders - Hot Rod Lincoln lyrics

Well, you heard the story of

The hot rod race that fatal day

When a Ford and a Mercury

Went out to play

Well, this is the inside story

And I'm here to say

I was the kid that was

Driving that Model A

It's got a Lincoln motor

And it's really souped up

And that Model A body

Makes it look like a pup

It's got twelve cylinders

Uses them all

With an overdrive

That just won't stall

It's got a four barrel carb

Dual exhaust, 4.11 gears

You can really get lost

It's got safety tubes

And I'm not scared

The brakes are good

And the tires are fair

We left San Pedro late one night

The moon and the stars was shining bright

Everything went fine up the Grapevine Hill

We was passing cars like

They was standing still

All of a sudden like a flick of an eye

A Cadillac sedan had passed us by

The remark was made

There's the car for me

By then the tail lights

Were all you could see

Now the fellas ribbed me for being behind

So I started to make that Lincoln unwind

I took my foot off the gas and man alive

I shoved it on down into overdriveCharlie Ryan And The Timberline Riders - Hot Rod Lincoln - http://motolyrics.com/charlie-ryan-and-the-timberline-riders/hot-rod-lincoln-lyrics.html

Well, I wound it up to a hundred and ten

Twist the speedometer off at the end

I had my foot feed clear to the floor

Said that's all there is

And there ain't no more

Went around a corner and I passed a truck

I whispered a prayer just for luck

Fenders was clicking the guardrail posts

The guys beside me were white as a ghost

I guess they 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 look like dots

Smoke was rolling out the back

When I started to gain on that Cadillac

I knew I could catch him

And hoped I could pass

But when I did I'd be short on gas

Went around a corner

With the tires in the side

You could feel the tension

Man, what a ride

I said, hold on

I've got a license to fly

And the Cadillac pulled over

And let me go by

And then all of the sudden

A rod started knocking

When down in the dips

She started to rocking

I look in my mirror

And a red light was blinking

Cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln

Well, they arrested me and put me in jail

I called my pop to go my bail

He said, son, you're gonna drive me to drinking

If you don't quit driving that Hot Rod Lincoln
