horsepower lyrics

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 hangin' around

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 8 seconds on miles an hour
That's the way I am and it's a fact I can't ignore

Yeah, big four legged, fuel injected
Runnin' 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 for speed and I don't mean the drugs-store kind
Some people like a life that barely moves at all

I say more power to 'em
Then I fly right through 'em
'Til it slows down to a crawl

And then I think about horsepower
For 8 seconds on miles an hour
That's the way I am and it's a fact I can't ignore

Yeah, big four legged, fuel injected
Runnin' wild, radar detected
Man can always stand a little bit more
Horsepower

Then I think about horsepower
For 8 seconds on miles an hour
That's the way I am and it's a fact I can't ignore

Yeah, big four legged, fuel injected
Runnin' wild, radar detected
Man can always stand a little bit more
Horsepower
