Horsepower

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
