[Verse 1]
Yeah, I hopped in my hot rod racer, whoa
Couldn't help myself, I had to chase her
Way down to New Orleans
That's where that girl was last seen, oh, yeah
You know she left a-me cold
You know she hurting me so
Yeah, but something kept telling me deep within
If I only start my racing, I'll be with her again
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I hopped in my hot rod racer
Yeah, couldn't help myself I had to chase her
Across the desert sands
Yeah, through that no man's land, oh, yeah
Yeah, both day and night
I couldn't sleep, I had to ride
Because something kept telling me, deep within
If I only start my racing, I'll be with her again
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3]
Mm, something kept a-telling me-a, deep down within
If I only start my racing, I'll be with her again
Yeah, I hopped in my hot rod racer
Couldn't help myself, I had to chase her
I chase her one more time, down at highway 99, uh-uh-uh
I gotta see her face, I wanna ride another race
Yeah, something kept a-telling me deep within
If I'm racing diesel rollers, I ain't ever race again
[Outro]
Yeah, c'mon baby, wait for me, honey (Hot rod racers)
Where are you going, baby? (Hot rod racers)
Oh, I'm trying-a catch you, honey, you're too fast (Hot rod racers)
