Lyrics
My pappy said "son your gonna drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop driving that hot rod lincoln"
Have you heard the story of the hot rod race Where the fords and lincolns were setting the pace? That story is true I'm here to say I was drivin' that model a
It's got a lincoln motor and its really souped up Got a model a body, makes it look like a pup It's got eight cylinders and it uses 'em all Got overdrive, just won't stall
With four barrel carbs, and a dual exhaust With four:eleven gears you can really get lost Got safety tubes, but I ain't scared The breaks are good, the tires fair
We pulled out of san pedro late one night With the moon and the stars shining bright We was driving up on grapevine hill Passing cars like they was standing still
All of a sudden, in the wink of an eye A cadillac sedan passed us by I said "boys, that's tomorrow for me" By then the tail lights was all you could see
Now the fellas all ribbed me for being behind So I thought I'd make that lincoln unwind Took my foot of the gas and man alive I shook her on down into over drive
Well I wound it up to a-hundred-and-ten My speedometer said that I'd hit top end My foot was glued like lead to the floor That's all there is, and there ain't no more
Now the boys all thought that I'd lost my sense Them telephone poles look 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 I crossed my fingers just for luck My fenders was clicking the guard rail post The guy beside me was white as a ghost
Smoke was coming from out of the back When I started to gain on that cadillac I knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas
I had flames coming 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" And that caddy pulled over and let us by
Now, all of the sudden she started knocking And, down into gear she started rocking I looked in the mirror. red lights were blinking The cops was after my hot rod lincoln
Well they arrested me and they put me in jail And they called my pappy to throw my bail And he said "son, you're going to drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop driving that hot rod lincoln"
