Hot Rod Lincoln - Jan Howard/Hank Locklin/Johnny Horton[00:00:00]
Have you heard this[00:00:14]
Story of the Hot Rod Race[00:00:15]
When the Fords[00:00:16]
And the Lincolns were[00:00:17]
Setting the pace[00:00:18]
That story is true[00:00:19]
I'm here to say[00:00:20]
Cause I was driving that Model A[00:00:22]
It's got a Lincoln motor[00:00:25]
And it's really souped up[00:00:26]
That Model A body[00:00:27]
Makes it look like a pup[00:00:28]
It's got eight cylinders[00:00:29]
And use them all[00:00:30]
Got overdrive[00:00:31]
Just won't stall[00:00:31]
With four barrel carbs[00:00:32]
And a dual exhaust[00:00:34]
With four-eleven gears[00:00:35]
You can really get lost[00:00:36]
Got safety tubes[00:00:37]
But I ain't scared[00:00:38]
The brakes are good[00:00:39]
Tires fair[00:00:39]
We pulled out of San Pedro[00:00:42]
Late one night[00:00:43]
The moon and the stars[00:00:43]
Were shining bright[00:00:44]
We was driving up[00:00:45]
On Grapevine Hill[00:00:46]
Passing cars like[00:00:47]
They were standing still[00:00:47]
All of a sudden in[00:00:57]
A wink of an eye[00:00:58]
A Cadillac sedan[00:00:59]
Passed us by[00:01:00]
I said[00:01:01]
Boys that's a mark for me[00:01:01]
By then the tail light[00:01:03]
Was all you could see[00:01:04]
Now the fellas all[00:01:06]
Ribbed me for being behind[00:01:07]
So I thought I'd make[00:01:08]
The Lincoln unwind[00:01:09]
Took my foot off[00:01:09]
The gas and man alive[00:01:10]
I shoved it on down[00:01:11]
Into overdrive[00:01:12]
Well I wound it up[00:01:15]
To a hundred-and-ten[00:01:16]
My speedometer said[00:01:17]
That I'd hit top end[00:01:18]
My foot was glued[00:01:19]
Like lead to the floor[00:01:19]
That's all there is[00:01:20]
There ain't no more[00:01:21]
Now the boys all thought[00:01:23]
I'd lost my sense[00:01:24]
And telephone poles looked[00:01:25]
Like a picket fence[00:01:26]
They said[00:01:27]
Slow down[00:01:27]
I see spots[00:01:28]
The lines on the road[00:01:29]
Just look like dots[00:01:31]
We took a corner[00:01:32]
Sideswiped a truck[00:01:33]
And I crossed my fingers just for luck[00:01:33]
My fenders was clicking[00:01:35]
The guardrail posts[00:01:36]
And the guy beside[00:01:36]
Me was white as a ghost[00:01:37]
Smoke was coming[00:01:40]
From out of the back[00:01:40]
When I started to gain[00:01:41]
On that Cadillac[00:01:42]
I knew I could catch him[00:01:43]
And I thought I could pass[00:01:44]
Don't you know by[00:01:45]
Then we'd be low on gas[00:01:46]
We had flames[00:01:54]
Coming from out of the side[00:01:55]
Even feel the tension[00:01:56]
Man what a ride[00:01:57]
I said[00:01:58]
Look out boys[00:01:59]
I've got a license to fly[00:01:59]
And that Caddy pulled[00:02:00]
Over and let us by[00:02:01]
Now all of a sudden[00:02:03]
She started to knocking[00:02:04]
Down in the dips she[00:02:05]
Started to rocking[00:02:06]
I looked in the mirror[00:02:06]
Red light was blinking[00:02:07]
The cops were after[00:02:08]
My Hot Rod Lincoln[00:02:09]
Well they arrested[00:02:19]
Me and they put me in jail[00:02:20]
They called my pappy[00:02:21]
To throw my bail[00:02:22]
And he said[00:02:23]
Son you're gonna[00:02:23]
Drive me to drinking[00:02:24]
If you don't stop driving[00:02:25]
That Hot Rod Lincoln[00:02:26]
