Hot Rod Lincoln

In the style of

Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen

Lyrics

my 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 a hot rod
race where the
fords and lincolns
were settin' the pace

that story is true i'm
here to say 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
just won't stall

with a four barrel
carb and a dual
exhaust with four
eleven gears you can
really get lost

got safety tubes but
i ain't scared the
brakes are good
the tires fair

pulled outta
san pedro late one
night the moon and
the 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

and said boys it's
marked for me
by then the taillight
was all you could see

now the fellas ribbed
me for bein' behind
so i thought i'd make
the lincoln unwind

took my foot off the
gas and man alive
i shoved it on down
into overdrive

wound it up to a
hundred and ten
my speedometer said
that i 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 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
side-swiped a truck
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 outta the back
when i started to gain
on that cadillac

knew i could catch
him i thought
i could pass
don't ya know by then
we'd be low on gas

they had flames comin'
from outta 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
knockin' and down in
a dip she started
to rockin'

i looked in the mirror
a red light was
blinkin'
the cops was after my
hot rod lincoln

they arrested me and
they put me in jail
and they 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
