Stand On It |
|
Well, jimmy lee was hookin' 'round the fan turn |
|
Of a funky southern florida dirt track. |
|
He had mud caked on his goggles and a screamin' three fifty |
|
Stacked up on his back. |
|
Well, as he passed the stands, he feeling all tuckered out, |
|
When through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout. |
|
"stand on it. come on, boy, stand on it." |
|
Mary beth started to shift, she hit the shift, |
|
But she just couldn't get a hand on it. |
|
She was racin' some red hill boys; she had the deed to the ranch |
|
And a grand on it. |
|
With eight grand blowin' hot on the red line, |
|
She blew past a hitchhiker out on route 39. he hollered, |
|
"stand on it. come on, baby, stand on it." |
|
(chorus) |
|
Well, now when in doubt and you can't figure it out, |
|
Just stand on it. |
|
Well, if your mind's confused; you don't know what you're gonna do, |
|
Well buddy, stand on it! |
|
Well, if you've lost control of the situation at hand, |
|
Go grab a girl; go see a rock 'n roll band, |
|
And stand on it. |
|
Come on, man, stand on it! |
|
Well now, columbus, he discovered america |
|
Even though he hadn't planned on it. |
|
He got lost and woke up one morning |
|
When he's about to land on it. |
|
He wouldn't have got out of italy, man, that's for sure, |
|
Without queen isabella standing on the shore shouting, |
|
"stand on it! go ahead, man, stand on it." |
|
(repeat chorus) |
