  FYI these are not the correct lyrics for Johnny Bonds version of the song. Here are the correct lyrics:
  
  Now you've heard the story, of the Hot Rod race
  When the Ford and the Mercury, were settin' the pace
  That story's true, I'm here to say
  Cause I was a 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 8 cylinders, uses them all
  With an overdrive, that just won't stall
  
  It's got a 4-barrel carb, and a dual exhaust
  4:11 gears, you can really get lost
  It's got safety tubes, and I'm not scared
  The brakes are good, and the tires are fair
  
  We left San Pedro, late one night
  The moon and the stars, was shinin' bright
  Everything went fine, up the Grapevine Hill
  We was passing cars, like they was standing still
  
  And then all of a sudden, like a flick of an eye
  A Cadillac sedan, had passed us by
  The remark was made, "That's the car for me"
  But by then the taillight, was all you could see
  
  Now the fellas ribbed me, for bein' behind
  So I started to make, that Lincoln unwind
  I took my foot off the gas, and man alive
  I shoved it down, into overdrive
  
  Well I wound it up, to a 110
  Twisted the speedometer needle, off the end
  I had my foot feed, clear to the floor
  Said that's all there is, there ain't no more
  
  Went around a corner, and I passed a truck
  I crossed my fingers, just for luck
  The fenders clickin', the guardrail posts
  The guy beside me, white as a ghost
  
  I guess they'd thought, I'd lost my sense
  The telephone poles, looked like a picket fence
  They said, "Slow down! I see spots!
  The lines on the road, they just look like dots"
  
  Smoke was rollin', out of the back
  When I started gainin', on that Cadillac
  I knew I could catch him, and hoped I could pass
  But when I did, I'd be short on gas
  
  Went around a corner, with the tires on the side
  You could feel the tension, man what a ride
  I said, "Hold on, I've got a license to fly"
  And that Cadillac, pulled over and let me by
  
  And all of a sudden, a rod started knockin'
  When down in the depths, and she started to rockin'
  I look in my mirror, and a red light was blinkin'
  The cops was after, my Hot Rod Lincoln
  
  Well they arrested me, and put me in jail
  And I called my pop, to throw my bail
  He said "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin'
  If you don't quit drivin', that Hot Rod Lincoln!" more »
