I Gotta Drive

Jan & Dean - I Gotta Drive

Been waiting for this day

For such a long time

My engine's tuned up and

She's running real fine

There's my girl wow

She look's pretty

She came to watch me race

Today here at drag city

If it's the last thing that I do

I gotta win this race

Gotta win this race

Got a lot to feel

And really set the pace

Really set the pace

This inside lane is where

I'm gonna stay

Where I'm gonna stay

Gonna grab the lead

And really show the way

Really show the way

She loves me now but

She's gonna love me more

So I gotta drive like

I never drove before

I'm taching seven grand

But it's not enough

I gotta drive I gotta drive

There's one car left to pass

And it's gonna be rough

I gotta drive I gotta drive

But now the last turn nears

And he's driftin wide

I gotta drive I gotta drive

So I'll power shift down

And then I'll slide inside

I gotta drive I gotta drive

She loves me now but

She's gonna love me more

So I gotta drive like

I never drove before

With a length to spare

I just crossed the line

On their feet now what a race

And there's the checker flag

This race is mine

Checker flag this race is mine

I hear a thousand voices

In the race crowd roar

But her's is the only one that

I'm listening for

There's my baby looking fine

She loves me now but

She's gonna love me more

Cause today I drove like

I never drove before
