Lyrics
"Hotter Than Me"
Words & Music by Scott Morris ©2006
VS.1
I hear that motor runnin', comin' way too fast.
In gear for mowin' over somethin' from the past -
CHORUS
'Cause I left you, goin' a-hundred-and-two.
And if I slow down for one minute, Lord I know that I'll be in it
You'll be askin' for that diamond ring, well this could only mean -
That you caught me, you did a-hundred-and-three.
Well now you know I got her 'cause she ran a little hotter than me.
VS.2
I see you in the rear view mirror gainin' quick.
I feel temptation and you know it makes me sick -
(Chorus)
Instrumental Bridge
VS.3
I think that I could use some catchin' about now
That engine's revin' tryin' to make me take the vow -
(Chorus)
ENDING
Hotter, hotter than me... Hotter, hotter than me... Hotter, hotter than me.
