Oh baby, I got persistence
Keep pushing like the ford motor pistons
Oh baby, I got persistence
I'm an automatic transmission
Oh baby, I got persistence
I hold the pole position
Oh baby, I got persistence
Yeah, I go the distance
No want for gas (gas)
I run on love (love)
So cut the brakes (brakes)
There's no end of the road (the road)
Unfading highway (highway)
Pass no cars on the way (the way)
So set to cruise (to cruise)
Let's get away (get away)
Lets drive (drive)
Drive, drive, drivŠµ (get away, get away)
Lets drivŠµ (drive)
Drive, drive, drive, drive
Oh baby, I got persistence
Keep pushing like the ford motor pistons
Oh baby, I got persistence
I'm an automatic transmission
Oh baby, I got persistence
I hold the pole position
Oh baby, I got persistence
Yeah, I go the distance
Oh baby, I got persistence
Yeah, I go the distance
Oh baby, I got persistence
Yeah, I go the distance
I think I went too fast (you did)
I think the car might crash (it will)
I'll have to pull out the wings (the wings)
And feel the lift underfoot (underfoot)
I'm shaking with fear (with fear)
Such a crazy idea (idea)
Better give it a try (give it a try)
See if this car can fly
Let's fly (fly)
Fly, fly, fly
Let's fly (fly)
Fly, fly, fly, fly
(Flying) I'm flying
(Floating) I'm floating
(Flying, flying, flying) I'm flying
(Floating) I'm floating
Oh baby, I got persistence
Keep pushing like the ford motor pistons
Oh baby, I got persistence
I'm an automatic transmission
Oh baby, I got persistence
I hold the pole position
Oh baby, I got persistence
Yeah, I go the distance
Oh baby, I got persistence
Yeah, I go the distance
Oh baby, I got persistence
Yeah, I go the distance
