Now the Ford and the Merc and the Model A [A] went down in history books to stay.
[B] The race from Canada to Mexico, [E] passing Cadillacs to [Em] and fro.
_ _ _ I [E] want you to listen to this tale.
[A] After my pop had gone on my bail, [B] took my hot rod Lincoln out on a run, [E] getting the
kicks and having some fun. _ _
It was late in the evening, the moon was pale, [A] I was putting miles between me and jail.
[B] A gal on a cycle was cruising along, I was [E] minding my business, and I was getting a little
bit of a kick.
I was minding my business and singing a song.
_ _ Well I saw a sidecar on that [A] Harley and the gal was stacked like a sack of [B] parley.
I didn't know what the gal was thinking, but she was poking [E] fun at my hot rod [Em] Lincoln. _ _
[E] Well I'm telling you it didn't sit [A] good because I'm proud of the motor under the hood.
[B] I put my foot down on the gas and I [E] honked my horn and [G#m] started to pay.
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
Well when I did, she pulled away [A] and really took off, I wanted to play.
[B] Well I wasn't racing, the motor was tight, I just [E] got the boss back in last night.
_ _ Out on the stretch, I was getting a little bit of a kick.
She was skating by, she ranked [B] it wide [A] open, the rods in the Lincoln Kept me a-moving,
[B] I was trailing behind to keep her in sight, but I didn't have nothing to do [Em] that night. _ _ _
[E] She passed every car with no sign of [A] pride, her hair streamed out like a tailless kite.
[B] She went over a hill, the bike started shaking, hitting on ninety, [E] really breathtaking.
_ _ _ To the curb on the side, a bad mistake, [A] a sidecar cycle went out in the lake, I [B] slammed
on the binder, went into a spin, the steering [E] wheel hit me under the chin. _ _ _
I looked for the cycle, the sidecar up [A] low, without any sails that resembled a boat.
[B] I looked for the gal, saw nothing [F#m] but bubbles.
When I pulled her out, I had nothing [E] to trouble.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ I had a hold of her hair.
She really was sore.
[A] She sputtered and gurgled for a minute or more.
[B] She finally quit moaning when she got her breath.
She said, she, fool, [E] you scared me to death.
_ _ _ She cussed me and bit me and wished I was dead.
[A] She said, I believe you got rocks in the head.
[B] I liked the gal and the way she looked.
She's the kind [E] you read about in a book.
I _ got her and the cycle back on land.
[A] Started stalking and making a plan.
[B] The cycle was wet and wouldn't start.
And [E] the love bug bit my way in my heart.
_ _ _ Now we're planning our honeymoon.
But [A] we're going to get married the first [B] of June.
Fix me and the Lincoln.
She's not fickle, though she [E] could ride in that sidecar sickle.
