Horsepower Songtext
von Chris LeDoux

I was born in a hurry but there wasn′t any place to go
Nowhere fast seemed better than nowhere slow
I never really got the hang of hanging around

Oh when you get down to it
I guess I always knew it
What it is that makes my world go round

It's a matter of horsepower
For eight seconds or miles per hour
That′s the way I am and that's a fact I can't ignore
Yea, big boy legged, fuel injected
Running wild, radar detected
Man can always stand a little bit more
Horsepower

Well the view looks better from ahead than it looks behind
I′ve got a need to speed and I don′t mean the drugs-store kind
Some people like a life that barely moves at all
I say more power to them
Then I fly right through 'em
′Til it slows down to a crawl


It's a matter of horsepower
For eight seconds or miles per hour
That′s the way I am and that's a fact I can′t ignore
Yea, big boy legged, fuel injected
Running wild, radar detected
Man can always stand a little bit more
Horsepower

Then I think about horsepower
For eight seconds or miles per hour
It's the way I am and it's a fact I can′t ignore
Yea, big boy legged, fuel injected
Running wild, radar detected
Man can always stand a little bit more
Horsepower

I′ve been thinkin' about horsepower
For eight seconds or miles per hour
It′s the way I am and it's a fact I can′t ignore
Yea, big boy legged, fuel injected
Running wild, radar detected
Man can always stand a little bit more
Horsepower
