I feel the need for speed!

lyrics

Go Fast on Saturday Night
By Howard Levinson

My daddy said boy, you gotta get out of bed.
You better get that NASCAR out of your head,
You’re eatin my food and using my tools
You better get a job or get back in school
He never understood, he never got me right
All I wanna do is go fast, on Saturday night

I spend my time and money to go real fast.
My girlfriend says she thinks I’m an ass.
My mama says son, you gotta be sick.
We gotta get you a doctor, get you fixed.
They never understood, they never got me right
All I wanna do is go fast, on Saturday night

I feel the need for speed, I gotta get the rush.
I’m lookin’ for the finish line, it never is enough.
I gotta push the needle way into the red.
And if I can’t live like this,
And if I can’t live like this,
And if I can’t live like this, I’d rather be dead.

I told them I was up late last night.
I got the pistons and rings set just right.
I got the heads bolted down, tonight is the night.
Gonna take it down to Main St., put it on the line.
They never understood, they never got me right
All I wanna do is go fast, on Saturday night.

Ain’t nothin’ wrong with winning the race.
The first one in, gets first place.
Checkered flags waving as I fly by
Pretty girls, hugs and hollers
Flash bulbs and champagne showers
A trophy and a thousand dollars, that’s my life.

I feel the need for speed, I gotta get the rush.
I’m lookin’ for the finish line, it never is enough.
I gotta push the needle way into the red.
And if I can’t live like this, fast cars
And if I can’t live like this, hot chicks
And if I can’t live like this, money
I’d rather be dead

You might find a little bit of you somewhere in here too. Influences range from Tom Petty to Hank Williams, Trace Adkins, David Allan Coe. ... more
