Hemi Cuda
He was a crazy mechanic who fixed church cars and lawn mowers
And an occasional engine for some spare money to spend.
He like drivin’ fast cars and the cops they all knew him
As the guy in the Plymouth with a top speed of no end.
Wide open highway hey why even chase him.
They think he did something or he wouldn’t flee.
Don’t matter wont catch him, not in what hes driv-in.
It’ll out run the wind so they best leave him be.
High-way patrol out in Texas liked chasin that Plymouth,
a 69 model with a hemi inside.
But they could do nuthin, but watch as he left em,
Helicopter and all, in the dust of his ride.
With eight hundred horses, feeding on raw nitros oxide
And a blower on top that was forse feedin em wind.
A stroker crank in the block hangin on to forged pistons.
A two hundred gear in the rear and a top speed of no end.
They chased him towards Dallas out there on the freeway
Running 195 when he hit overdrive
The motor was screamin and he switched on the nitros
Then blew right around their road block on the side
Highway patrol called the Air Force to chace after that Plymouth
But he just shot em the finger when he saw em fly by
Then he turned off the freeway somewhere outta of Dallas
And he headed out west under the North Texas sky
He made old El Paso before it got dark there
And Parked under a bridge just to rest for a while
The sheriff there saw him but didn’t call in
He just started his car up with a really big smile
The Sheriff then pulled in behind that old Plymouth
And he flashed on his lights and said step outside
But he was to slow-see that mechinic stayed ready
And he side stepped the clutch and his car came alive
Flyin out through the desert, in hot pursuit chasin
That 69 Cuda that would outrun the wind.
The sheriff just caught one quick glimpse of the tail lights
Then they vanished in darkness and that is the end.
