Rev On the Red Line
Two in a row, everybody knows
At the green light, you rev it on the red line
Been waitin' all week to get my wheels on the street
Get my hands on the wheel, slide down in the seat
She's wearin' new colours and runnin' pretty good
I got 400 horses tucked under the hood
But there's no need to panic, it's under control
We're aerodynamic and ready to roll
Rev on the red line
You're on your own
Rev on the red line
Just let it go
Runnin' all night on Lake Avenue
It's a piece of cake if you know what to do
You've got to lose a few 'til the stakes get high
When the odds are right, you just blow by
And make no mistake
There's women who just wait
For the man and machine with the best time
Rev on the red line
You're on your own
Feels like a lifetime (rev on)
But soon you'll know
Wasn't long ago, I could've lost my wheels
Had to outrun the law, it was no big deal
I guess they had a grudge, they were hot on my tracks
I had to pay off the judge to get my license back
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat
Hear my motor screamin' while I'm tearin' up the street
Rev on the red line
You're on your own
Rev on the red line
Just let it go
Rev on, rev on (rev on)
Don't think I'll ever learn to slow down (rev on)
You'll still be here and I'll be gone
Rev on, rev on
At the green light, you rev it on the red line
Been waitin' all week to get my wheels on the street
Get my hands on the wheel, slide down in the seat
She's wearin' new colours and runnin' pretty good
I got 400 horses tucked under the hood
But there's no need to panic, it's under control
We're aerodynamic and ready to roll
Rev on the red line
You're on your own
Rev on the red line
Just let it go
Runnin' all night on Lake Avenue
It's a piece of cake if you know what to do
You've got to lose a few 'til the stakes get high
When the odds are right, you just blow by
And make no mistake
There's women who just wait
For the man and machine with the best time
Rev on the red line
You're on your own
Feels like a lifetime (rev on)
But soon you'll know
Wasn't long ago, I could've lost my wheels
Had to outrun the law, it was no big deal
I guess they had a grudge, they were hot on my tracks
I had to pay off the judge to get my license back
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat
Hear my motor screamin' while I'm tearin' up the street
Rev on the red line
You're on your own
Rev on the red line
Just let it go
Rev on, rev on (rev on)
Don't think I'll ever learn to slow down (rev on)
You'll still be here and I'll be gone
Rev on, rev on
