Fire It Up

They threw him a party when he turned sixteen

But all that he wanted was just one thing

To get to the driveway and behind the wheel

Fire it up and see how it feels

Fire it up and see how it feels

That '57 Ford that his daddy rebuilt

Three hundred horses and four chrome wheels

He'd drive it on Friday nights the rubber would squeal

He'd fire it up and see how it feels

Now he's driving his mama insane

'Cause just like his daddy he's in the fast lane

He was born behind the wheel

Fire it up and see how it feels

Three years later he's making the rounds

On those ol' dirt tracks on the outskirts of towns

With his new bride watching from the infield, he'd fire it up and

see how it feels

Now he's driving his woman insane

'Cause just like his daddy he's in the fast lane

He was born behind the wheel

Fire it up and see how it feels From the likes of Junior Johnson to

that awesome

He followed every driver, that's as good as he would be

He says strapping in behind the wheel makes him feel wild and free

Down at Daytona they threw him a bash

He took the checker by avoiding the crash

He held up the trophy it didn't seem real

To fire it up and see how it feels

Now he's driving the people insane

'Cause just like Richard Petty he's in the fast lane

He is born behind the wheel

Fire it up and see how it feels

If you want to know how he feels

Just fire it up and see how… fire it up and see how… Fire it up and

see how it feels
