Charlie Ryan The Timberline Riders Miscellaneous Hot Rod Lincoln Well you heard the story of the hot rod race that fatal day When a Ford and a Mercury went out to play Well this is the inside story, and I'm here to say I was the kid that was drivin' that Model A It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up That Model A body makes it look like a pup It's got twelve cylinders; uses them all With an overdrive, that just won't stall Its got a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust 4.11 gears you can really get lost It's got safety tubes, and I'm not scared The brakes are good, and the tires are fair We left San Pedro late one night The moon and the stars was shinin' bright Everything went fine up the Grapevine Hill We was passing cars like they was standing still All of a sudden like a flick of an eye A Cadillac sedan had passed us by The remark was made "Theres the car for me" By then the taillight were all you could see Now the fellas ribbed me for bein' behind So I started to make that Lincoln unwind I took my foot off the gas and man alive I shoved it on down into overdrive Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten Twist the speedometer off at the end I had my foot feed clear to the floor Said that's all there is and there ain't no more Went around a corner and I passed a truck I whispered a prayer just for luck Fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts The guys beside me were white as a ghost I guess that thought I'd lost my sense The telephone poles looked like a picket fence They said, "Slow down! I see spots! The lines on the road just look like dots." Smoke was rollin' out of the back When I started to gain on that Cadillac I knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass When I did I'd be short on gas Went arround a corner with the tires in the side You could feel the tension, man what a ride I said, "Hold on, I've got a license to fly" And the Cadillac pulled over and let me by And then all of the sudden a rod started knockin' When down in the dips she started to rockin' I look in my mirror; and a red light was blinkin' Cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln! Well they arrested me and put me in jail And called my pop to throw my bail He said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin' you don't quit drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln!" |
