Just Clook then Bbhe's Fgone
Pay aCttention and Bbyou might
CSee just how he makes sparks fly
    Bb     A    GHands on the wheel, he's a permanent fixture
    Bb     A    CReads hot rod mags like Holy Scripture
    Bb     A    GHe ignores the brake pedal like step-daddy's child
    Bb     A    CPlayin' footsie on the gas like the love of his life

CHot night sky he watch sparks fly
    Bb     A    GHighway birds, sunrise, paradise
    Bb     A    CCinderella's morning appetite
    Bb     A    GSquintin' his eyes and the driver kills his lights
    Bb     A    CIgnites his stash, he's a Plymouth Satellite
