-- OR -- 
Have you heard the story of the hot rod race
Where the Fords and Lincolns were settin the pace?
That story is true I'm here to say
I was drivin that model A.
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
That a Model A body makes it look like real tough
It's got eight cylinders and uses 'em all
Got overdrive, just won't stall
With a four barrel carb and dual exhausts
With four-eleven gears you can really get lost
Got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
The brakes are good, the tires fair
Pulled out of LA late one night
And the moon and the stars were shining bright
We was drivin up Grapevine Hill
Passin' cars like they was standing still
BREAK
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 tail lights was all you could see
Now the fellas ribbed me for being behind
So thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
Took my foot of the gas and man alive
I shoved it on down into over drive
Wound it up to 110
My speedometer said that I 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
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence
They said slow down, I see spots
The lines on the road just looked like dots
Took a corner, side swiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck
My fenders was clickin' the guard rail posts
The guy beside me was white as a ghost
BREAK
Smoke was coming from outta of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
Don't ya know by then we'd be low on gas?
Had flames comin from outta the side
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 to knockin
And down in a dips she started to rockin
I looked in the mirror, a red light was blinkin
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln
They arrested me and they put me in jail
And called my pappy to throw my bail
He said Son, you're gonna to drive me to drinkin
If you don't stop drivin that Hot Rod Lincoln
