Gear Head Blues lyrics

Word`s around McDonald`s

There`s a new kid in town

Blew in from McLean County,

Fastest ride around

The Dukes don`t believe what they done heard:

King lost by five car lengths

And then he lost his nerve.

Don`t know who done it, but

He blew away the King

Rumor fancy turbo feedin` his machine



Well the King and his friends are the real live Dukes

Readin` hot rod mags in the back of Algebra class

Don`t give a damn about nothin` at all

`cept for a four-barrel carb

and an over-haul



King told the kids

He was Number One

Said it was his town

They`s gonna have to run

Final showdown at the 4th Street light

Howlin` full moon on a hot summer night



CHORUS:

Pedal to the metal

First sight of green

Send shivers down your spine

When you hear those hemi`s scream

The Duke sat stunned as the kid pulled away

To leave the King a pauper to try another day.
