When I'm cruising around I'll take you on at any day of the week
Gonna give a run for you money cause' speed is the name of our game
Let's take your piece of junk for a round
Still got the meanest machine in town
Son, you know I'll never back down
You call that a car ?
A quarter mile with my sixty-nine blaster and you'll know there ain't no faster
So you listen well!
Cause in the race with the devil
Raw power is my only friend
Mechanic monster
The one that takes me to the end
I'm talking 'bout my V8-friend
So you watch me go!
Well, no use of comin' blustering around with that puny front wheel drive
Cause the only thing here in need of a proof is your squeaky little turbo poof
Cause you know!
The boiling gasoline in my blood is the only thing in life keeping me hot
So you fill me up!
There ain't no feeling like slamming the gas
Just push it good and haul some ass
'Cause
Cause in the race with the devil
Raw power is my only friend
Mechanic monster
The one that takes me to the end
I'm talking 'bout my V8-friend
Cause in the race with the devil
Raw power is my only friend
Mechanic monster
The one that takes me to the end
I'm talking 'bout my V8-friend
Talking 'bout my V8-friend
