Karaoké Hot Rod Lincoln Asleep at the Wheel

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 the hot rod race

When the Ford and the Lincolns were settin' the pace

That story's true

I'm here to say

'Cos I was drivin' 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

Got eight cylinders and uses 'em all

Got overdrive that just won't stall

With four barrel carbs and a dual exhaust

And four eleven gears you can really get lost

Got safety too but I ain't scared

The brakes are good and the tires fair

We pulled out of San Pedro late one night

The moon and the stars were shinin' bright

We was drivin' up ol'

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 all 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 on down in overdrive

Well I wound it up to one hundred ten

My speedometer said that 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 that I'd lost my sense

And them telephone poles looked like a picket fence

They said

Slow down I see spots

The lines on the road just looked like dots

We took a corner side swiped a truck

And I crossed my fingers just for luck

My fenders was clicking the guard rail post

And the guy beside me was white as a ghost

Smoke was comin from outta the back

When I started to gain on that Cadillac

I knew I could catch him and I thought I could pass

Don't ya know by then we'd be low on gas

I had flames comin' from out of the side

You could feel the tension man, what a ride

I said, look out boys

I've got a license to fly

That Caddy pulled over and let us by

Now all of a sudden she started a-knockin'

Down in the depths she started a-rockin'

I looked in the mirror red light was blinkin'

The cops was after my

Hot Rod Lincoln

Well they arrested me and they put me in jail

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
