I'm gonna tell you the whole story, the whole truth.
Nothing but the truth.
I ain't gonna leave out a thing.
By the time you leave here tonight, you'll know the whole story.
Cause my papa said, son, you're gonna drive me to drinking if you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln.

Have you heard the story of the hot rod race?
[A] Went forward, didn't link it, just set in place.
That [B] story's true and I'm here to say [E] cause I was driving that Model A.
It's got a Lincoln motor [B] and it's really souped up and [A] that Model A body makes it look like a club.
It's [B] got eight cylinders and a U.
When I'm all [E] gone over driving, it just won't stop.
With four barrel cars and a dual exhaust [A] and four 11 gears, you can really get lost.
[B] It's got safety gears but I ain't [E] scared.
Brakes are good and the tires though.
Pulled out of San Pedro late one [A] night when the moon and the stars were shining bright.
[B] We was driving up old Grapevine Hill, [E] patting the car like [A] they was standing [Em] still.
[E] [A]
[B] [E]
All of a sudden in the wink of an [A] eye, a Cadillac sedan passes [B] by and I said,
Hey boys, that's Mark with [E] me, Bob's and the taillights is all you can see.
Now the boys all read me for being behind so I [A] thought I'd make that Lincoln [B] unwind.
Took my foot off the gab, man [E] alive, I shoved it on [B] down in overdrive.
[A]
[B]
[E] [E] Well I wound it up to 110 [A] miles per hour, sat in the wheel, hip top [B] and my foot was blue like lead to the [E] floor.
I saw the resident, ain't no more.
Now the boys all thought I'd lost my [A] sense and in telephone poles looked like a picket [B] fence said race on down.
I see [E] spots and lines all the [B] road just look like.
We took a corner side swipe and [A] struck back off my finger, just for luck.
[B] My offense was clicking the guardrail poles [E] and the guy beside me was white as a goat.
[A] [B]
[E] Smoke was coming from out of the back when I [A] started to gain on that Cadillac.
When [B] I knew I could catch him and I thought I could pass but don't you know by then we'll be low on [E] gas.
That flames come from out of the side, you [A] could feel the tension man, what a ride.
I [B] said look out boys, I got a nice reply and [E] that Caddy pulled over and let us by.
[G#m]
Then [E] all of a sudden she started to knock it [A] down and then she started rocking.
I [B] looked in the mirror, red light was blinking, [E] the cops was there for my hot rod licking.
[Em]
[B] Well Wilbur, [E] they arrested me and then they put me in jail [A] and then called my pappy to throw my bail.
He said son you're gonna drive me into drinking if you don't [E] stop driving that hot [C#] rod licking.
