Lyrics
Racing Cars and Screaming Guitars
I get my motor running,
Rev the RPM's up high.
I'm burning up the track
With fire in my eyes.
I tear into the turn
At 200 miles an hour.
I love the feel of an automobile
That has so much power.
Chorus:
I love racing cars and screaming guitars,
The two best things in the world.
I'm a honky-tonking woman,
I'm a NASCAR kinda girl.
If you want to be my man,
Buddy, you better understand
The two best things in God's great land
Are racing cars and screaming guitars.
Crank the amp way up high
Til that guitar starts to scream.
It tears the plaster off the wall,
The real American dream.
Honky-tonk heroes
Play their music real loud.
A screaming guitar
Really revs up the crowd.
Bridge:
Running wild by the light of the sun,
Running wild by the light of the moon,
Honky-tonk heroes
And NASCAR drivers, too.
American ideal
Guitars and automobiles,
Never hard to guess
The two things I love best.
Glenn Troutman, C. 2005
