Hot rod Lincoln - Charlie Ryan[00:00:00]
Written by:Stevenson/Ryan[00:00:02]
Well you heard the story of[00:00:14]
The hot rod race that fatal day[00:00:16]
When a ford and a mercury[00:00:17]
Went out to play[00:00:18]
Well this is the inside story[00:00:19]
And I'm here to say[00:00:20]
I was the kid that was[00:00:21]
Driving that model A[00:00:22]
It's got a Lincoln motor[00:00:24]
And it's really souped up[00:00:25]
And that model a body[00:00:26]
Makes it look like a pup[00:00:27]
It's got twelve cylinders[00:00:28]
Uses them all[00:00:29]
With an overdrive[00:00:30]
That just won't stall[00:00:30]
It's got a four barrel carb[00:00:33]
Dual exhaust 4 11 gears[00:00:34]
You can really get lost[00:00:35]
It's got safety tubes[00:00:36]
And I'm not scared[00:00:37]
The brakes are good[00:00:38]
And the tires are fair[00:00:39]
We left San Pedro late one night[00:00:42]
The moon and the stars was shining bright[00:00:43]
Everything went fine up the grapevine hill[00:00:45]
We was passing cars like[00:00:46]
They was standing still[00:00:48]
All of a sudden like a flick of an eye[00:00:57]
A Cadillac sedan had passed us by[00:00:59]
The remark was made[00:01:01]
There's the car for me[00:01:02]
By then the tail lights[00:01:03]
Were all you could see[00:01:03]
Now the fellas ribbed me for being behind[00:01:06]
So I started to make that Lincoln unwind[00:01:07]
I took my foot off the gas and man alive[00:01:10]
I shoved it on down into overdrive[00:01:11]
Well I wound it up to a hundred and ten[00:01:15]
Twist the speedometer off at the end[00:01:16]
I had my foot feed clear to the floor[00:01:18]
Said that's all there is[00:01:20]
And there ain't no more[00:01:20]
Went around a corner and I passed a truck[00:01:23]
I whispered a prayer just for luck[00:01:24]
Fenders was clicking the guardrail posts[00:01:26]
The guys beside me were white as a ghost[00:01:27]
I guess they thought I'd lost my sense[00:01:31]
The telephone poles looked like a picket fence[00:01:32]
They said slow down I see spots[00:01:34]
The lines on the road just look like dots[00:01:36]
Smoke was rolling out the back[00:01:39]
When I started to gain on that Cadillac[00:01:40]
I knew I could catch him[00:01:42]
And hoped I could pass[00:01:43]
But when I did I'd be short on gas[00:01:44]
Went around a corner[00:01:54]
With the tires in the side[00:01:55]
You could feel the tension[00:01:56]
Man what a ride[00:01:56]
I said hold on[00:01:58]
I've got a license to fly[00:01:58]
And the Cadillac pulled over[00:01:59]
And let me go by[00:02:00]
And then all of the sudden[00:02:03]
A rod started knocking[00:02:03]
When down in the dips[00:02:04]
She started to rocking[00:02:05]
I look in my mirror[00:02:06]
And a red light was blinking[00:02:07]
Cops was after my hot rod Lincoln[00:02:09]
Well they arrested me and put me in jail[00:02:18]
I called my pop to go my bail[00:02:20]
He said son you're gonna drive me to drinking[00:02:22]
If you don't quit driving that hot rod Lincoln[00:02:24]
