Wound it up to a-hundred-and-ten My speedometer said that I hit top end My foot was glued like lead to the floor That’s all there is and there ain’t no more Now the boys all thought that I’d lost my sense And telephone poles looked like a picket fence They said “Slow down, I see spots!” The lines on the road just looked like dots Took a corner, side-swiped a truck Crossed my fingers just for luck My fenders was clickin’ the guard rail posts The guy beside me was white as a ghost ---
