Hot Rod Lincoln by Johnny Bond
Hot Rod Lincoln
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
E A B E
[Verse 1]
E
Now you’ve heard the story of the hot rod race
A
When the Ford and the Mercury were setting the pace
E
That story is true I'm here to say
B
‘Cause I was driving that Model A
[Verse 2]
E
It's got a Lincoln motor and it’s really souped up
A
That Model A body makes it look like a pup
E
It's got eight cylinders use them all
B
With an overdrive that just won't stall
E
Got a four barrel carb and dual exhaust
A
Four eleven gears really get lost
E
Got safety tubes and I’m not scared
B
Brakes are good and the tires are fair
[Verse 3]
E
We left San Pedro late one night
A
The Moon and the stars were shinin’ bright
E
And that thing went flyin’ up the Grapevine Hill
B
We were passing cars like they were standing still
E
And all of a sudden like the flick of an eye
A
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
E
The mark was made that’s the car for me
B
But then the tail lights was all you could see
E
Well the fella’s ribbed me for being behind
A
So I started to make that Lincoln unwind
E
Took my foot off the gas man alive
B
I shoved it down into overdrive
[Verse 5]
E
But I wound it up to a 110
A
Twisted the speed-o-meter cable off hand
E
Had my foot be cleared the floor
B
Says that's all there is ain't no more
E
Went around the corner passed a truck
A
I crossed my fingers just for luck
E
The fenders clicking the guard rail posts
B
The guy beside me white as a ghost
E
I guess they thought I had lost a sense
A
The telephone posts looked like a picket fence
E
He said slow down I see spots
B
The lines on the road they just look like dots
E
Smoke was rolling out from the back
A
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
E
I knew I could catch him and I hope I could pass
B
When I did I’ll be short on gas
[Verse 6]
E
Went around the corner with the tires on the side
A
You could feel the tension man what a ride
E
I said hold on I got a license to fly
B
And the Cadillac pulled over and let me by
E
And all of a sudden the rod started knockin’
A
Down in the dips it started rockin’
E
I looked in the mirror the red light was blinkin’
B
The cops were there for my hot rod Lincoln
E
Well, they arrested me and they put me in jail
A
I told my Pop to throw my bail
E
He said son you gonna drive me to drinkin’
B
If you don’t quit drivin’ that hot rod Lincoln

My papa said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln."
Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race;
When Fords and Lincolns was 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 Model A body makes it look like a pup.
It's got eight cylinders and uses them all
It's got overdrive, just won't stall.
With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
With 4.11 gears you can really get lost
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
The brakes are good, the tires fair.
Pulled out of San Pedro late one night
The moon and the stars was shinin' bright
We was drivin' up Grapevine Hill
Passing cars like they was standing still
All of a sudden in a wink of an eye
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me"
By then the tail light was all you could see
Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behi
