[Em] [A] Now me and my wife and my brother Joe [D] took off my Ford from San [A] Pedro.
We hadn't much gas and the tires were [E] low, but my dad's playing Ford with a fairly [A] good old one.
Now along about the middle of the night [D] we were ripping along like nice folks [A] might.
When I murkered behind he blinked his lights, [E] he honked his horn, and he [A] flew out of sight.
That's when pipes and plumbed your [D] butts, and people may [A] think that I'm in a rut, but
to you folks who don't take a [Em] jive, that's two carburetors and an [A] overdrive.
We made three spots out of many good [D] towns and left the cops' heads [A] spinning round and round.
They wouldn't chase, they'd run [Em] and hide, but me and that murker stayed [A] side to side.
[F#]
[A] Now we were Ford men and we [D] likely knew that we would race until something blew.
My foot [A] feet was down like we're stuck [E] with glue, through many of the towns we [A] flew and flew.
I looked down at my lovely bride, her [D] face was blue, I thought she'd died.
Left streaks through town about forty feet [E] wide, but me and that murker stayed [A] side to side.
My brother was pale, he said he was [D] sick, he said he was just a nervous wreck, but [A] why
should I worry for what [Em] the heck?
Me and that murker was still [A] neck to neck.
On through the desert we did [D] glide, a-flyin' low and a-flyin' [A] wide, and me and that murker
was takin' [E] a ride and we stayed exactly [A] side to side.

I looked in my mirror and I saw something comin', I thought it was a plane, but the
way it was runnin' it was hummin' along in a terrible [E] pace, and I knew right then [A] it
was the end of the race.
When it flew by us I turned the [D] other way, the guy in the murker had nothin' to say,
[A] if it was nothin' but a kid he was wantin' to [E] play, he was drivin' a hopped up Model [A] A.
