Hot Rod Lincoln

In the style of

Jim Varney

Lyrics

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 fords
and lincolns
were settin' the pace

the story's true
i'm here to say
'cause 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
that just won't stall

with
four-barrell carb
and dual exhaust
with
four-eleven gears
you can really
get lost

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

pulled out of
san pedro
late one night
the moon and 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

i said boys
that's a mark for me
by then the taillights
was all you could see

now the fellas
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 down
into overdrive

wound it out
to a hundred and ten
my speedometer said
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
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
sideswiped a truck
i 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 out of the back
when i started to gain
on that cadillac

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

they had flames
comin' out
from 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 knock
and down
in the depths
she started to rock

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

they arrested me
and put me in jail
i called my pappy
to throw my bail

he said
son you're gonna
drive me to drinkin'
if you don't stop
drivin' that
hot rod lincoln
