Verse 1
My daddy said boy you gotta get out of bed, you better get that NASCAR out of your head,
You're eatin' my food and using my tools, you need to get a job or get back in school.
He never understood, he never got me right, all I wanna do is go fast on Saturday night.
Verse 2
I spend my time and money to go real fast, my girlfriend says she thinks I'm an ****
My mama says son you gotta be sick, we gotta get you a doctor and get you fixed.
They never understood, never got me right, all I wanna do is go fast on Saturday night.
Chorus
I feel the need for speed, I gotta get the rush, I'm looking for the finish line, it never is enough.
I gotta push the needle way into the red, and if I cant live like this, I'd rather be dead.
Verse 3
I told them I was up late last night, got the pistons and rings set just right
Got the heads bolted down and tonight is the night,
Gonna take it down to the track and put it on the line.
Chorus
Verse 4
There ain't nothing wrong with winning the race, first one in gets first place,
Checkered flags waving as I fly by, pretty girls and hugs and hollers, flash bulbs and champagne showers
A trophy and a thousand dollars, that's my life.
Chorus
I feel the need for speed, I gotta get the rush, I'm looking for the finish line, it never is enough
I gotta push the needle way into the read, and if I can't live like this, Fast Cars
If I can't live like this, Hot Chicks, If I can't live like this, Money.
I'd rather be dead.
