Verse
Have you heard the story of the hot rod race,
When the Ford and the Lincolns were settin' the pace?
That story's true I'm here to say,
Cause I was drivin' that Model A.
Break
Verse
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up;
And that Model A body makes it look like a pup.
It's got 8 cylinders and uses 'em all;
Got overdrive that just won't stall.
Break
Verse
With 4-barrel carbs and a dual exhaust,
And 4: 11 gears, you can really get lost -
Got safety too but I ain't scared,
The brakes are good and the tires fair.
Break
Verse
We pulled out of San Pedro late one night;
The moon and the stars were shinin' bright.
We was drivin' up ol' Grapevine Hill,
Passin' cars like they were standin' still.

Verse
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.
Break
Verse
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 on down into overdrive.
Break
Verse
Well, I wound it up to 110;
My speedometer said that I'd hit top end.
My foot was glued like lead to the floor;
That's all there is - there ain't no more.
Break
Verse
Now the boys all thought that I'd lost my sense;
And them telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said, "Slow down, I see spots."
The lines on the road just looked like dots.
Break
Verse
We took a corner, side swiped a truck;
And I crossed my fingers just for luck
My was fenders clickin' the guard rail post;
The guy beside me was white as a ghost.

Verse
Smoke was comin from outta the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
I knew I could catch him and I thought I could pass
Don't ya know by then, we'd be low on gas.
Break
Verse
I had flames comin' 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.
Break
Verse
All of a sudden she started a-knockin';
Down in the depths she started a-rockin'.
I looked in the mirror and a red light was blinkin';
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln.
Break
Outro
Well they arrested me and put me in jail.
They called my pappy to throw my bail.
And he said, 'Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin',
If you don't stop drivin' that…
