Lyrics

Let me tell you the tale of a hot rod race
That happened out in a secluded place
Where no one lives
'Cept cows and a few raccoons

I was drivin' around in my shoebox car
My baby and me underneath the stars
My engine was knockin
But I knew it'd clear real soon

I was cruisin' along 'bout 95
I looked in my mirror and man alive
Some guy was gaining on me
As his engine roared

So I gave that holly carb some gas
My baby cried out don't let him pass
I guess it's just that bitch got bored
I had to race my fucked up ford

I made the turn at 108
And he was up on my back gate
And I knew he had something bad
Underneath that hood

So I pushed it up to 110
That flathead motor was about to give in
I crossed my fingers and prayed to the lord
Don't let me down you f***ed up ford

It's my fucked up ford!
It's my fucked up ford!

When cherry tops began to spin
I knew this race was about to end
It's a cop by god
My engine can't give no more

He threw me in jail, warrant ignored
My car blew up as the oil poured
I guess it's just that bitch got bored
I had to race my fucked up ford

It's my fucked up ford! whoooo!
It's my fucked up ford!
