Hot Rod Lincoln - Asleep At The Wheel

My pappy 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. And that model A body makes it look like a pup It's got eight cylinders; 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, 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 taillight was all you could see. Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind, So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind. Took my foot off the gas and man alive, I shoved it on down into overdrive. Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten My speedometer said that I hit top end. My foot was blue, like lead to the floor. That's all there is and there ain't no more. Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense And telephone poles looked like a picket fence. They said, "Slow down! I see spots! The lines on the road just look like dots." Took a corner; sideswiped a truck, Crossed my fingers just for luck. My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts. The guy beside me was white as a ghost. Smoke was comin' from out of the back When I started to gain on that Cadillac. Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass. Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas? We had flames comin' from out of the side. Feel the tension. Man! What a ride! I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly!" And that Caddy pulled over and let us by. Now all of a sudden she started to knockin', And down in the dips she started to rockin'. I looked in my mirror; a red light was blinkin' The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln! They arrested me and they put me in jail. And called my pappy to throw my bail. And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop drivin' that Hot... Rod... Lincoln!"

The clubs were all closed Streets dark and empty There seems a threat Every breath seems to tempt me Live life like we used to For those days we've had But we'll be together In better times Times when we join hands Neighbors and friends Times when the good times Together never end Times when we gather Ties that bind But we'll be together again In better times Friends on the street They all look like Jesse James Mask up at distant They just don't look the same Concerts and parties And football game Virtual everything's Just ain't the same Tired of 2020 Ready to flee Tired of being lonely Yearning to breathe free Remember the rhythm Remember the rhyme 'Cause we'll be together again In better times Friends on the street They all look like Jesse James Mask up at distant They just don't look the same Concerts and parties And football game Virtual everything's Just ain't the same Tired of 2020 Ready to flee Tired of being lonely Yearning to breathe free Remember the rhythm Remember the rhyme 'Cause we'll be together again In better times

I'm like a blind man driving, down both sides of the road I got nine hours behind me, I got nine more to go I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away I got my foot down to the floorboards, I'm in a one care race While my radio is slapping country tunes across my face I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away Well these pretzel sticks at Denny's don't give me much relief I got one eye on the State Patrol, the other eye is asleep I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away With my eyes part open dreaming, about sleeping in my bed Sinking deep into my pillow, till I gently lose my head I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away Oh this coffee just ain't working but I'll try another cup If my baby were here with me she'd know how to keep me up I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away I got all my windows open, got my head out in the wind I got J.C. on my dashboard, just in case I need a friend I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away My head is getting heavy, my eyes are killing me If I don't keep them open, I'll be looking up a tree I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away

I built my love a house from the bottom to the top Did it all with my hands and the wood I chopped Then the times got rough, we had to sell our home But we kept our love, and we're still going strong That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives We've had our ups and downs, we yell instead of talk Well, we both ran around in a state of shock Lonely and afraid, we looked inside our hearts Found our love survived shining through the dark That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives
