My pappy said, son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln.
[G] [E]
[Am] [E] [F#m]
Have you heard the story of the [B] hot rod race with the [E] Fords and the Lincolns were set in the face?
That [B] story's true, I'm here to say [E] 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's got eight cylinders and uses them all without [E] overdrive.
Just won't stall.
With a four-barrel car, I'm gonna do a little sauce [A] with four different gears, you can really get lost.
[B] The tires got safety tubes, but I ain't [Em] scared, the brakes are good, the tire's [E] fair.
Pulled out of San Pedro late one night, the [A] moon and the stars was shinin', the driver [F#] was drivin' up Grapevine Hill [E] passin' cars like they was standin' still.
[Em]
[Bm] [A] [F#]
[E]
All of a sudden, in the wink of an eye, a Cadillac sedan passed us [B] by and said, boys, it's a marvel for me.
By then, the taillight was all you could see.
Now the fellas rid me of bein' [E] behind, so I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind.
[Bm] So I put off the gas and man [E] alive, I shoved it on down into [B] overdrive.
I wound it up to a hundred and ten, [C#m] my speedometer said that I hit top end, [Bm] my foot was blue, I glid to the floor, [E] that's all there is in there, ain't no more.
Now the boys all thought, lost my [A] sense, and telephone poles looked like a picket [B] fence, they said, slow down, I see [E] spots, the lines on the road just look like that.
Took a corner, side-swiped the [A] truck across, my fingers just [F#] flucked, my fenders was clickin' the guardrail [B] post, the guy beside me was white as a [E] ghost.
[B]
[A] [B] [F#]
[E] Smoke was comin' from out of the [A] back when I started to gain on that Cadillac.
[F#] Knew I couldn't catch him, I thought I could [E] pass, don't you know by then we'd be low on gas.
They had planes comin' from out of the side, field attention, man, what a [B] ride, I said, look out, boys, I got a license to [E] fly, and that Caddy pulled over and let us by.
Now all of a sudden, she started [E] knockin' it down, she started [B] rockin', I looked in the mirror, red light was [E] blinkin', the cops was after my hot-rod Lincoln.
They arrested me and they put me in jail, and they called my pap and throwed my [F#] bail, and he said, son, you're gonna drive me to [E] drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that hot [F#]-rod Lincoln.
