Testo Hot Rod James - Skyhooks
Testo della canzone Hot Rod James (Skyhooks), tratta dall'album Singles and B Sides
You know folks, life is just a V-8
With extractors fitted and chrome
It helps you get there faster
But it's no good if you're alone
Life is like a hot rod
With a custom built front end
But you spin out on the corners
If you don't have a friend
Now James was working in his garage
Late one summer's night
On a chop 32, three window coupe
That machine was such a beautiful sight
It had a 392 block V-8
Injected and chromeed all over
Four inch tubes and Kregon 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
That no one ever knew
James never thought about girls
He only thought about cars
Never went to the drive-in
Or worried about single bars
So it was after midnight
When he finally put down his wrench
Then in the dim light he saw her
Leaning up against a 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've sat at home
Hoping 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 passing 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 chop 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 chop 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 chop 32
Hot rod James, hot rod James
The road is waiting for you
The freeway wants to see you
And the girl in the chop 32
Hot rod James, hot rod James
The world is waiting for you
Life cries out to meet you
And the girl in the chop 32
Hot rod James, hot rod James
The road is waiting for you
Life cries out to meet you
And the girl in the chop 32
Hot rod James, hot rod James
The world is waiting for you
Life cries out to meet you
And the girl in the chop 32
