[Intro]
N.C.                                            
My pappy said Son you gonna drive me to drinkin'
N.C.                                          
If you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln

[Verse]
E                                           
Have you heard the story of the hot rod race
E                                                     
Where the Fords and the Lincolns were settin' the pace
B7                               
That story's true I'm here to say
E7                                 
'cause I was a drivin' that Model A
     E                                            
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
A7                                        
That Model A body makes it look like a pup
     B7                                   
It's got eight cylinders and uses them all
         E                    B7    E7
It's got overdrive just won't stall ■ 
E                                         
With a four barrel carb and a dual exhaust
                                          E   
With four:eleven gears you can really get lost
                             E     
Got safety tubes but I ain't scared
                    E7        E   
The brakes are good the tires fair
E                                    
Pulled outta San Pedro late one night
E                                         
The moon and the stars were shinin' bright
E                               
We was drivin' up Grapevine Hill
                                    E    
Passin' cars like they was standin' still
E7 A7 B7 E

    E                                
All of a sudden in the wink of an eye
A7                           
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
E                                 
I said boys that's the mark for me
E                                          
By then the taillight was all you could see
E                                        
Now the fellas ribbed me for bein' behind
                      A                 
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
A7                                    
Took my foot off the gas and man alive
E                        E7       
I shoved it on down into overdrive
E7                            
Wound it up to hundred and ten
                         E              
My speedometer said that I'd hit top end
    E                                   
Had my foot glued like lead to the floor
                                       E7  
That's all there is and there ain't no more
E7                                             
Now the boys all thought that I'd lost my sense
E7                                             
Them telephone poles looked like a picket fence
B7             B               
They said Slow down I see spots
B7                    E                    
The lines on the road just looked like dots
       E                        
Took a corner sideswiped a truck
E                               
Crossed my fingers just for luck
E7                                         
My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts
                                       A7
The guy beside me was white as a ghost ■ 
B7 E                                     
■  ■ Smoke was comin' from outta the back
                       A7              
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
B                                            
Knew I could catch him I thought I could pass
E                                       
Don't ya know by then we'd be low on gas
E                                        
We had flames comin' from out of the side
E                                         
You could feel the tension man what a ride
E                                          
I said Look out boys I got a license to fly
    E                                   
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by


[Chorus]
E                                           
Now all of a sudden a she starts to knockin'
     E                                   
Down in the depths she started to rockin'
A7                                                 
I looked in the mirror and a red light was blinkin'
E7                 E          E7     
The cops was after my hot rod Lincoln
E                                         
■ They arrested me and they put me in jail
    E                                    
And they called my pappy to throw my bail
B                      B7                        
And he said Son you're gonna drive me to drinkin'
                  E7                          
If you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln
A7 E7 A7 B7 E
