Lyrics
Hot Rod Girl
She's all souped up, and She's all tricked out
She wants to burn some rubber and head on out
Leather seats and hot wax
She's got four on the floor and the pedal to the metal,
She's never looking back
She's got slick tires and mag wheels
Watch your step 'cuz she's the real deal
At Laguna Seca, and Daytona
She'll walk all over you like She owns you
She's a hot rod girl (2x)
In a mini-van world
She's found her place in the human race
She'll wave as She goes by, she sets the pace
Doing donuts outside the diner
Hangin' 'round, wasting all my time
She's a semi 'Cuda on the quarter-mile
She'll knock you down like a ten-pin with her smile
And she'll remind you, her chrome will blind you
So get out of the way her V8's right behind you
She's a hot rod girl (she's a hot rod girl)
She's a hot rod girl (she's a hot rod girl)
She's a hot rod girl in a minivan world
Never complain, never explain
300 horses underneath the hood
Yeah she's in charge
And living large
That's OK she'll see you on the motorway
She's a hot rod girl (2x)
In a mini-van world
