People who drive like this wind up in jail. That's why AllOne gets the instrumental version of this song. We think the vocal version's sorta fun, though, so here it is.
lyrics
Two lane blacktop
Gotta keep my motor poppin'
Toolbox in the back and the pedal on the mat
Tach is riding high as I'm pushing through the night
Hallstead, Great Bend, hoping for a happy ending
Look out, Slick, you're gonna get hit
I'm heading for the State Line, riding on the center line
Don't get too excited if you think you're gonna try
I set 'em up
Langdon, Conklin, Corbettsville, Riverside
Brookdale, Liberty, Silver Lake and Brackney
Muscle car ride with the sway bar tight
Keep the rubber side down & it'll all be all right
Look out Slick, you're gonna get hit
New York State line, riding on the yellow line
Don't get too excited if you think you're gonna try
I set 'em up
Great Bend, late June, lookin' for the local goons
Lexus, Superbee, Chevrolet don't scare me
Motorcraft Ford watch my four-speed four-door
Hope I keep my shirt, & I hope no one gets hurt but
Look out Slick, you're gonna get hit
Gumball red lights flashing in the dark of night
Don't get too excited if you think you're gonna try
I set 'em up
And shut 'em down.

Come for the '70s Dodge pickup on the cover. Stay for Americana/Folk music played like rock-n-roll (a winning formula if there ever was one). THE GHOSTS THAT I RUN WITH is nothing short of AWESOME. Andy Smash & the Rust Belt Hotrods
Synths abound on the new single from Hearts and Rockets—icy cold, sharp, and minimal, and topped with a punk rock sneer. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2020
