Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Here I come in my fifty seven, 
She's a real low rider paint perfection 
With a custom engine painted black with flames 
Ain't nobody gonna call that hot rod tame 

V eight engine with the fuel injection 
Two eight three, that's my ounce of perfection 
Get that rod out when it's very late 
Haven't gotten' round to getting license plates 

Well I'm cruising low and I'm cruising mean, 
Well I'm cruising slow in my street machine 
You're my hot rod mama 
And you're really built for speed 

When I reach that final destination 
I will drive a car and leave a compensation 
With a little reeling and a lot of rockin' 
You're my hot rod mama in your fishnet stockings 

You're built for speed, You're built for speed
