Have you heard the story of the hot rod race with the Fords and the Lincolns was set in the face?
[B] That story is true, I'm here to say [E] I was driving that Model A.
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up.
That Model A body makes it look [B] like a pup's got eight cylinders and uses them all.
Got overdrive, just [E] won't stall.
With a four barrel carb and a dual [A] exhaust with four revving gears you can really get lost.
[B] Got safety tubes but I ain't scared.
The brakes are good.
Tires fair.
[E] Pulled out of San Pedro late one night [E] at moon and the stars were shining bright.
[F#] We was driving up Grapevine Hill [E] passing cars like they was standing [B] still.
[A]
[F#] [E]
Home was sudden and a wink of an [A] eye.
Cadillac sedan passed us [B] by and said boys that's a marv for [E] me.
By then the tail light was all you could see.
Now the fellas rid me for being behind [A] so I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind.
[F#] Took my foot off the gas and [E] man alive I shoved it on down [Em] into overdrive.
[F#]
[B] We wound it [F#] up to a hundred and ten.
My speedometer [C#m] said that I hit top [Bm] end.
My foot was [G] blue.
I glided to the floor.
That's [E] all there is in there.
Ain't no more.
Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense and telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
[B] They said slow down.
I [E] see spots.
The lines on the road just looked like that.
Took a corner.
Side swiped the truck.
[A] Crossed my fingers just for [F#] luck.
My fenders was clicking the guardrail post.
The [B] guy beside me was white as a [E] ghost.
[Em]
[A] [F#] [E]
Smoke was coming from out of the back when I started to gain on that Cadillac.
[B] Knew I couldn't catch him.
I thought I could [E] pass.
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas.
We had flames coming from out of the side.
[A] I feel the tension man.
What a [B] ride.
I said look out boys I got a license to fly and that [E] caddy pulled over and led us by.
[E] Now all of a sudden she started knocking down the door.
She started to rock and I looked [Bm] in the mirror.
Red light was blinking.
The cops was after my hot rod Lincoln.
They arrested me and [A] they put me in jail and called my pappet.
I throw my bail.
[B] He said son you're gonna drive me to [E] drinking if you don't stop driving that hot [F#] rod Lincoln.
