Lyrics
90 miles an hour, got my pedal to the floor
Engine's runnin' hot, but I keep pushing it for more
Got a gig tonight in Memphis, I love to play that town
Come 10 o'clock I'll be rockin' out, no time to fool around
Well I'm runnin' late, no time to stop
Burnin' up this two-lane blacktop. Blacktop
Just outside of Tupelo I heard a crazy sound
Mercy me my Mercury, don't give up on me now.
Well smoke a came a risin' from underneath my hood
Well lady luck let's work it out things aint' lookin' good.
I can't believe I gotta stop,
I'm stranded on this two-lane blacktop. Blacktop.
Cooled down that radiator, got a full tank of gas
Back up on blacktop, time for haulin' ass.
Looked up in my mirror, what do you think I saw?
The pride of Fulton County, that no good Johnny Law.
I don't wanna deal with this dog-gone cop,
I'm busted on this two-lane blacktop.
Well I'm out of time and I'm about to drop.
Busted on this two-lane blacktop. Blacktop. Blacktop.
Oh mercy baby I'm busted on this ... blacktop.
