lirik lagu hot rod james – skyhooks
macainsh
life is just a v8 with extractors plated in chrome
it helps you get there faster
but it’s no help if you’re alone
life is like a hot rod with a custom built front end
but you’ll spin out on the corners if you don’t have a friend.
now james was working in his garage
late one summers night
on a chopped 32 three window coupe
that machine was such a beautiful sight.
it had a 392 chrysler v8
injected and chromed all over
four inch tubes and cragar mags
it’s a pity that james never drove her.
hot rod james, hot rod james
the road is waiting for you
spent all your money on an automobile
but no one ever knew.
james never thought about girls
he only thought about cars
never went to the drive in
or worried about singles bars.
so it was after midnight
when he finally put down his wrench
then in the dim light he saw her
leaning against the bench.
she said: ‘james, i have been waiting’
‘for you to finish this car’
‘it’s taken you six years
‘to even get this far’.
‘all those nights i sat at home’
‘hopin’ that you’d call’
‘and take me to the movies’
‘but now i have to crawl’.
‘on my hands and knees to make you see’
‘that life is p-ssing us by’
‘come on press the starter, james’
‘come on give it a try’.
hot rod james, hot rod james
the road is waiting for you
the freeway wants to see you
and the girl in the chopped 32.
james he was speechless
as he turned the key
and the motor purred so sweetly
her hand was on his knee.
he leaned back in those bucket seats
and saw those city lights
and thought about the girl
and those long hot summer nights.
hot rod james, hot rod james
the world is waiting for you
life cries out to meet you
and the girl in the chopped 32.
life is like a camshaft, it has its ups and downs
now james and the girl are happy and they go out on the town.
now life may be a tune up for the real thing
but james and the girl are happy ’cause you can hear them sing.
hot rod james, hot rod james
the road is waiting for you
the freeway wants to see you
and that three window chopped 32.
hot rod james, hot rod james
the world is waiting for you
life cries out to meet you
and the girl in the chopped 32.
