Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen
My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinking
If you don't stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln"
E A7 E B7
E
Have you heard this story of the hot rod race
A7
When Fords and Lincolns was setting the pace
E
That story is true, I'm here to say
B7 E
I was driving that Model A
E
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
A7
That Model A body makes it look like a pup
E
It's got eight cylinders, uses them all
B7 E
It's got overdrive, just won't stall
E
With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
A7
With 4.11 gears you can really get lost
E
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
B7 E
The brakes are good, tires fair
E
Pulled out of San Pedro late one night
A7
The moon and the stars was shining bright
E
We was driving up Grapevine Hill
B7 E
Passing cars like they was standing still
E A7 E B7
E
All of a sudden in a wink of an eye
A7
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
E
I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me"
B7 E
By then the tail light was all you could see
E
Now the fellas was ribbing me for being behind
A7
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
E
Took my foot off the gas and man alive
B7 E
I shoved it on down into overdrive
E
Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten
A7
My speedometer said that I hit top end
E
My foot was glued like lead to the floor
B7 E
That's all there is and there ain't no more
E
Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
A7
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence
E
They said, "Slow down! I see spots!
B7 E
The lines on the road just look like dots"
E
Took a corner, sideswiped a truck
A7
Crossed my fingers just for luck
E
My fenders was clicking the guardrail posts
B7 E
The guy beside me was white as a ghost
E A7 E B7
E
Smoke was coming from out of the back
A7
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
E
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
B7 E
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas
E
We had flames coming from out of the side
A7
Feel the tension, man, what a ride!
E
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"
B7 E
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by
E
Now all of a sudden she started to knocking
A7
And down in the dips she started to rocking
E
I looked in my mirror; a red light was blinking
B7 E
The cops was after my hot rod Lincoln
E
They arrested me and they put me in jail
A7
And called my pappy to throw my bail
E
And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinking
B7 E
If you don't stop driving that hot, rod, Lincoln!"
