If you start me up 

If you start me up I'll never stop 

If you start me up 

If you start me up I'll never stop 

I've been running hot 

You got me ticking gonna blow my top 

If you start me up 

If you start me up I'll never stop 



You make a grown man cry 

You make a grown man cry 

You make a grown man cry 

Spread out the oil, the gasoline 

I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine 



If you start me up 

Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got. 

I can't compete with the riders in the other heats 

If you rough it up 

If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up 



You make a grown man cry 

You make a grown man cry 

Don't make a grown man cry 

My eyes dilate, my lips go green 

My hands are greasy 

She's a mean, mean machine. 



Start me up 

Start me up 

Start me up 



You make a grown man cry 

You make a grown man cry 

You make a grown man cry 

Ride like the wind at double speed 

I'll take you places that you've never, never seen 

Start it up 



You, you, you make a grown man cry 

You, you, you make a dead man come 

You, you, you make a dead man come
