Lyrics
- TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BREAKS
- BUT YOU WON’T STOP MY SOUPED UP FORD
- WELL YOU CAN SET YOUR CLOCK, ‘COS I WON’T STOP
- I GOT MY BOOT TO THE BOARD
- WELL THIS GREEDY JEEP, DON’T NEED NO SLEEP
- DRINKS ALL THE GAS THAT YOU CAN POUR
- IT’S A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, SOUNDS LIKE A BEEHIVE
- GOOD LORD THAT’S FOR SURE
- I’M BLOWING TOWN, NOT BREAKING DOWN
- DO YOU HEAR THAT SOUND, THOSE WHEELS TO THE GROUND
- I’M ON MY WAY, I CAN’T STAY
- MAKE NO MISTAKE, I’M PULLING OUT TODAY
- HIT THAT SPOT ON THE DIAL AND WAIT FOR A WHILE
- TILL THOSE TUBES ARE ALL A GLOW
- GALVANIZED TO THE WHEEL, YOU NEED NERVES OF STEEL
- BUT YOU KNOW THAT IT DON’T SHOW, WELL I GUESS YOU FEEL HIGHER ON
- THOSE PNEUMATIC TYRES ’COS THEY SURE GRIP THE ROAD
- KEEP THAT ENGINE CLEAN, FEED IT GOOD GASOLINE
- GOOD LORD THAT’S FOR SURE
- I’M BLOWING TOWN, I WON’T BE BREAKING DOWN
- I’M MOVING DOWN, HEAR THOSE WHEELS ON THE GROUND
- I’M ON MY WAY, I SURE CAN’T STAY
- MAKE NO MISTAKE, I’M LEAVING TOWN TODAY
- NO HIGHWAY COP, GONNA MAKE ME STOP WHAT I STARTED
- ‘CAUSE I WON’T BE FREE TILL I GET UP AND GO WHERE MY HEART IS
- DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES
- TO TRY TO CATCH UP TO MY SOUPED UP FORD
- WELL MAKE NO MISTAKE BY APPLYING THE BRAKES
- WHEN I SAY ‘ALL ABOARD’
- YOU CAN ROLL UP THE SIDEWALK AND END ALL THE SMALL TALK
- WHEN I SHIFT MY GEARS, ‘COS I WON’T BE BACK
- WHEN I HEAD DOWN THE TRACK,
- A THOUSAND MILES FROM HERE
- I’M BLOWING TOWN, NOT BREAKING DOWN
- LISTEN TO THAT SOUND, THOSE WHEELS TO THE GROUND
- I’M ON MY WAY, I SURE CAN’T STAY
- MAKE NO MISTAKE, I’M LEAVING TOWN TODAY
