1. The Devil Drives a Hot Rod
(see music tab)
2. 1-2-3 LET'S GO
Well, I got a 49 Ford and she's ready to roll
1-2-3 let's go...
Let's go... Let's go...
Let's roll on down the line
Let's go... Let's go... Let's go...
Well my '49 she's a flying machine
She's got flames on the front, cherry and clean
If you wanna race for pinks let me know
I'll drop her into gear and I'm ready to go
Don't you worry 'bout the law; they're too slow
when my pedal's to the floor and I'm cruisin' low
Smoking my tires, leavin' rubber on the road
All the cops can do is watch me go...
Let's go... Let's go...
Let's roll on down the line
Let's go... Let's go... Let's go...
Well, some might try, but they can't win
'Cause you know my Ford's the fastest thing there's ever been
If you wanna try your luck... wait and see
There ain't no one in this town that's as fast as me
The cops they know it... They don't even chase
when they hear I'm getting ready for another race.
They used to try to catch me a long time ago
Now all they do is watch me go!
Let's go... Let's go...
Let's roll on down the line...
Let's go... Let's go... Let's go!
3. 8 BEERS TOO MANY
I went drinking with the boys and had too many
Just don't make so much noise... 8 beers too many
If I go home like this after too many
I know my wife will bitch... 8 beers to many
CHORUS:
I should have stopped drinking when I started seeing double...
Now I'm in trouble!
Oh what the hell... I haven't heard that last call bell...
That last call bell...
I went drinking at a bar and had too many
I left in a police car... 8 beers too many
I don't recall the fight or if I won
I sure hope I was right and I had fun
CHORUS
I went home and saw my wife and she was bitchin'
She pulled out a big 'ol knife right in the kitchen
She told me to get out and I was thinkin'
I wonder what went wrong... was it all the drinkin'?
CHORUS
I went drinkin' with the boys and had too many
Just don't make so much noise... 8 beers too many.
4. LIGHTNING LOVE
Give me a jar of that lighting and I'll drink it right on down
Then I'll load my Packard and I'll run some into town
I got a little honey... she makes moonshine in a still
She lives out in the backwoods near the old abandoned mill... Old abandoned mill...
Every Saturday night I take her batch right into town
I take the old road through the county so the sheriff can't hunt me down
I unload her poison and I get a little cash
Then I buy some corn for my baby so she can make a brand new mash... Make a brand new mash.
CHORUS:
Well, she's my moonshine honey...She's my lightning love
She's got fire in her eyes and moonshine in her blood
She's my moonshine honey... She's my lightning love
And I hope some day I catch her but the law never does... the law never does
Well her lightning's got some thunder... yeah that juice sure packs a punch
and if you drink too much your head will spin and you might lose your lunch
I got a little honey... She makes moonshine every night
And they come from miles around 'cause she can make the juice just right... make the juice just right...
5. PRETTY LITTLE GAL
She's a pretty little gal... She's got long dark hair
Steel blue eye and an ice cold stare
She's a pretty little gal and she'll promise to be true
She's a pretty little gal she's gonna cast her spell on you
She's a pretty little gal... She's got what it takes
to make you weak in the knees and make your poor heart race
She's a pretty little gal... She'll pledge her love to you
She's a pretty little gal she's gonna promise to be true.
She's a pretty little gal and she's pretty well known
by all the guys in town she left alone
She's a pretty little gal there's nothing you can do
She's a pretty little gal she's gonna cast her spell on you
She's a pretty little gal... She's got a sexy little walk
(her) Long pretty legs 'been around the block
She's a pretty little gal you better stick to her like glue
She's a pretty little gal she's gonna cast her spell on you.
She's a pretty little gal... She's got a pretty little smile
A rockin' little bod and a rockin' little style
She's a pretty little gal she... She'll promise to be true
She's a pretty little gal she's gonna cast her spell on you
She's a pretty little gal... but she'll ruin your life
She'll want a pretty big house when you make her your wife
She's a pretty little gal... She'll get ugly when she sues
Don't let that pretty little gal put her pretty little claws in you.
6. CRAZY JEALOUS MAN
I say my baby walking down the road with you
and I saw you holding hands... like only lovers do
Well, I saw you and my baby walking hand in hand
and you better watch your back now
'Cause I'm one crazy jealous man
Well, I asked around the town just to see what I could find
And now I see my friend... You ain't no friend of mine!
I heard that you've been kissing my baby at the drive-in show
And I heard that it's been going on since a long, long time ago
CHORUS:
I'm one crazy jealous man... who knows what I might do
You better run and hide if you know what's good for you
I've got a big 'ol gun... I got a switch-blade knife
You best forget about that gal... and run for your life
Well, I heard that you left town... and that you were running scared
Just keep looking back, 'cause soon you'll see me there
I saw you and my baby walking hand in hand
and friends or not I'll get you
'Cause I'm one crazy jealous man
CHORUS
