《Hot Rod Race》歌词

[00:00:00] Hot Rod Race - Jimmie Dolan/Tennessee Ernie Ford

[00:00:03] Now me and my wife and my brother Joe

[00:00:05] Took off in my Ford from San Pedro

[00:00:07] We hadn't much gas and the tires was low

[00:00:09] But the doggone Ford could really go

[00:00:15] Now along about the middle of the night

[00:00:17] We were rippin' along like white folks might

[00:00:19] When a Mercury behind he blinked his lights

[00:00:21] And he honked his horn and he flew outside

[00:00:27] We had twin pipes and a Columbia butt

[00:00:29] You people may think that I'm in a rut

[00:00:31] But to you folks who don't dig the jive

[00:00:33] That's two carburetors and an overdrive

[00:00:51] We made grease spots outta many good town

[00:00:53] And left the cops heads spinnin' round and round

[00:00:56] They wouldn't chase they'd run and hide

[00:00:57] But me and that Mercury stayed side by side

[00:01:03] Now we were Ford men and we likely knew

[00:01:05] That we would race until somethin' blew

[00:01:07] And we thought it over

[00:01:10] Now wouldn't you

[00:01:16] I looked down at my lovely bride

[00:01:17] Her face was blue I thought she'd died

[00:01:20] We left streaks through towns about forty feet wide

[00:01:22] But me and that Mercury stayed side by side

[00:01:28] My brother was pale he said he was sick

[00:01:29] He said he was just a nervous wreck

[00:01:32] But why should I worry for what the heck

[00:01:34] Me and that Mercury was still neck and neck

[00:01:52] Now on through the deserts we did glide

[00:01:53] A flyin' low and a flyin' wide

[00:01:56] Me an' that Mercury was a takin' a ride

[00:01:57] And we stayed exactly side by side

[00:02:03] Then I looked in my mirror and

[00:02:04] I saw somethin' comin'

[00:02:05] I thought it was a plane

[00:02:06] By the way it was a runnin'

[00:02:07] Hummin' along at a terrible pace

[00:02:09] And I knew right then

[00:02:10] It was the end of the race

[00:02:15] When it flew by us

[00:02:16] I turned the other way

[00:02:17] The guy in the Mercury

[00:02:18] Had nothin' to say

[00:02:20] For it was a kid

[00:02:22] In a hopped up model A

[00:02:25] Yeah Just hopped up model A
