Well, you heard the story of The hot rod race that fatal day When a Ford and a Mercury Went out to play Well, this is the inside story And I'm here to say I was the kid that was Driving that Model A 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 twelve cylinders Uses them all With an overdrive That just won't stall It's got a four barrel carb Dual exhaust, 4.11 gears You can really get lost It's got safety tubes And I'm not scared The brakes are good And the tires are fair We left San Pedro late one night The moon and the stars was shining bright Everything went fine up the Grapevine Hill We was passing cars like They was standing still All of a sudden like a flick of an eye A Cadillac sedan had passed us by The remark was made There's the car for me By then the tail lights Were all you could see Now the fellas ribbed me for being behind So I started to make that Lincoln unwind I took my foot off the gas and man alive I shoved it on down into overdrive Well, I wound it up to a hundred and ten Twist the speedometer off at the end I had my foot feed clear to the floor Said that's all there is And there ain't no more Went around a corner and I passed a truck I whispered a prayer just for luck Fenders was clicking the guardrail posts The guys beside me were white as a ghost I guess they thought I'd lost my sense The telephone poles looked like a picket fence They said, slow down, I see spots The lines on the road just look like dots Smoke was rolling out the back When I started to gain on that Cadillac I knew I could catch him And hoped I could pass But when I did I'd be short on gas Went around a corner With the tires in the side You could feel the tension Man, what a ride I said, hold on I've got a license to fly And the Cadillac pulled over And let me go by And then all of the sudden A rod started knocking When down in the dips She started to rocking I look in my mirror And a red light was blinking Cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln Well, they arrested me and put me in jail I called my pop to go my bail He said, son, you're gonna drive me to drinking If you don't quit driving that Hot Rod Lincoln
