Stroker Ace was born to race.
|
He had a mean streak ten feet wide.
|
A son of a gun with a taste for fun and
|
more than his share of pride.
|
Take a dirt road curve with the devil's
|
nerve and make a car dance a cross the mud.
|
Hauling shine was his regular line 'til the
|
track got in his blood.
|
|
Was a real hot shot and he bragged a lot but,
|
man that fool could drive. 'Cause he loved the
|
feel of the steering wheel and the girls with the
|
bed-room eyes. And in a racing tide or a bar
|
room fight old Stroker stole the show. A back
|
stretch blazer, a real hell raiser and a race
|
track Romeo.
|
|
Mama lock your daughters up
|
that wild bunch is back in town
|
And them little girls get frisky
|
when they hear that racecar sound
|
They're bringin out the yellow flag,
|
somebody's brakes have failed
|
There's an oilslick on the inside
|
and a wreck along the rail
|
You better stand on it, Stroker,
|
cause a bandit's on your tail.
|
|
It's a downright joy for a country boy
|
When he hears them engines moan
|
But you gotta hang tough and it gets real rough
|
When you're out there on your own
|
Cause they'll push you around, they'll knock you down
|
They'll shove ya up against the wall
|
And you always know when an engine blows
|
That a man can't win 'em all
|
You could push that car
|
just a little too far any Sunday afternoon
|
And if you break your neck
|
in some d---- fool's wreck they'd forget about you soon
|
But old Stroker Ace was born to race
|
and it's worth all the trying
|
Just to drink champagne in the Victory Lane
|
and to hear that concrete whine
|
|
Stroker get your dander up
|
this ain't no time to lag
|
You've got to make a lap up
|
if you want to take that checkered flag
|
Number ten is closin' in to even up the score
|
It's time to wave bye-bye and put the pedal on the floor
|
You better stand on it Stroker
|
cause you're blowin' off their doors.
|
|
Blow their doors off, Stroker. Stand on it, Son. Ah, you good lookin' devil, you.
