Rory Gallagher - Souped Up Ford lyrics

rate me

Take your foot off the brakes,<br />

But you won't stop my souped-up Ford.<br />

Well, you can set your watch 'cause I won't stop,<br />

I've got my foot to the floor.<br />

This greedy jeep don`t need no sleep,<br />

Eats all the gas that you can pour.<br />

It`s a front-wheel drive and it sound like a bee-hive,<br />

Good Lord, that`s for sure.<br />

<br />

I`m blowing town, not breaking down,<br />

Can`t you hear that sound, those wheels on the ground.<br />

I`m on my way, and I can`t stay,<br />

Make no mistake, I`m pulling out today.<br />

<br />

Hit that spot on the dial and wait for a while,<br />

Till those tubes are all a-glow.<br />

Got to be nice to the wheel, you need nerves of steel,<br />

But you know that is no joke.<br />

<br />

Well, I guarantee you`ll feel higher,<br />

On those pneumatic tires.<br />

`Cos they sure grip the road,<br />

Keep that engine clean, feed it good gasoline,<br />

Good Lord, that`s for sure.<br />

<br />

I`m blowing town, I won`t be breaking down,<br />

I`m moving down, hear those wheels hiKing the ground.<br />

I`m on my way, I sure can`t stay,<br />

Make no mistake, I`m leaving this town today.<br />

<br />

No highway cop`s gonna make me stop,<br />

What I`ve started.<br />

'Cos I won`t be free till I get up,<br />

And go where my heart is.<br />

<br />

You know what it takes to try,<br />

To catch up to my souped up Ford.<br />

Well, make no mistake by applying the brakes,<br />

When I say "AII aboard".<br />

Well, you can roll up the sidewalk,<br />

And end all the small talk,<br />

When I shift them gears.<br />

`Cos I won`t be back till I head down the track,<br />

A thousand miles from here.
