“Greased Lightning Lyrics”

Why this car is automatic
It’s systematic
It’s hydromatic
Why it’s grease lightning (Grease lightning)

We’ll get some overhead lifters and some four barrel quads
oh yeah
(Keep talking whoa keep talking)
A fuel injection cutoff and chrome plated rods oh yeah
(I’ll get the money I’ll kill to get the money)
With a four speed on the floor they’ll be waiting at the door
You know that ain’t no shit we’ll be getting lots of tit
In Grease Lightning
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Go grease lightning you’re burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lightning you’re coasting through the heat lap trial
You are supreme the chicks’ll cream for grease lightning
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Purple french tail lights and thirty inch fins
oh yeah
A Palomino dashboard and duel muffler twins
oh yeah
With new pistons, plugs, and shocks I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain’t bragging she’s a real pussy wagon
Grease lightning

Go grease lightning you’re burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lighting you’re coasting through the heat lap trial
You are supreme the chicks’ll cream for grease lightning
Go grease lightning you’re burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lighting you’re coasting through the hit lap trial
You are supreme the chicks’ll cream for grease lightning
Lightning, lightning, lightning
Lightning, lightning, lightning
Lightning

Here’s the lyrics to one of ma favorites:

Free Ride
The mountain is high
The valley is low
and you’re confused on which way to go
so I’ve come here to give you a hand
and lead you into the promised land
so…
come on and take a free ride [free ride!]
come on and sit here by my side
come on and take a free ride
all over the country I’ve seen it the same
nobody’s winning at this kind of game
we’ve got to do better it’s time to begin
you know all the answers must come from within
so…
come on and take a free ride [free ride]
come on and sit here by my side
come on and take a free ride

Heres the lyrics for Ballroom Blitz:

Are you ready, Steve? Aha.
Andy? Yeah! Mick? OK.
Alright, fellas, let’s go!

Oh it’s been getting so hard
Livin’ with the things you do to me, aha
Oh my dreams are getting so strange
I’d like to tell you everything I see, mhm
Oh, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
‘Cause she thinks she’s the passionate one

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it’ll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

I’m reaching out for something
Touching nothing’s all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there’s nothing left of you, aha
Now the man in the back
Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is ev’ryone’s mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frantically hectic
And the band started leaving, ’cause they all stopped breathing

Refrain

Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

Refrain

It’s it’s a ballroom blitz, it’s it’s a ballroom blitz
It’s it’s a ballroom blitz, yeah, it’s a ballroom blitz
