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 an hour
That′s the way I am, and that's a fact I can't ignore
Yeah, 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 drug-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

And then, I think about horsepower for eight seconds or miles an hour
That's the way I am, and that′s a fact I can't ignore
Yeah, big boy legged, fuel injected, running wild, radar detected
Man can always stand a little bit more horsepower, yeah

And then, I think about horsepower
For eight seconds or miles an hour
That′s the way I am, and it's a fact I can't ignore
Yeah, big boy legged, fuel injected, running wild, radar detected
A man can always stand a little bit more horsepower
