Horsepower

I was born in a hurry, but there wasn't any place to go

Nowhere fast seemed better than nowhere slow

I never really got the hang of hanging around

Oh, when you get down to it, I guess I always knew it

What it is that makes my world go round

It's a matter of horsepower for eight seconds or miles an hour

That's the way I am, and that's a fact I can't ignore

Yeah, big boy legged, fuel injected, running wild, radar detected

Man can always stand a little bit more horsepower

Well, the view looks better from ahead than it looks behind

I've got a need to speed, and I don't mean the drug-store kind

Some people like a life that barely moves at all

I say more power to them, then I fly right through 'em

'Til it slows down to a crawl

And then, I think about horsepower for eight seconds or miles an hour

That's the way I am, and that's a fact I can't ignore

Yeah, big boy legged, fuel injected, running wild, radar detected

Man can always stand a little bit more horsepower, yeah

And then, I think about horsepower

For eight seconds or miles an hour

That's the way I am, and it's a fact I can't ignore

Yeah, big boy legged, fuel injected, running wild, radar detected

A man can always stand a little bit more horsepower
