Mark Westin: See Hear!

Runs on beer - LYRICS

(Mark Westin & Steve Giordano/BMI)
This song appears on the soundtrack of Fast Lane Summer, a great film about drag racing.
Spending all my time tryin' to beat the odds
Spend my money on a pedal clutch and piston rods
Livin' in a trailer, in the pits and on the go
Livin' for my motor cause it's all I know

CHORUS
Some cars run on love and money
Some cars run on fear
Some cars run on gas and nitro
This car runs on beer

From the dyno to the decals it's my work of art
I can put it all together I can take it apart
Gotta keep it running
Gotta take a win
Got six seconds to burn
You gotta tear it down again

CHORUS

On to the strip sunup to sundown
Then it:s back into the fire for another round
Keep the shiny side up
Keep the rubber side down

CHORUS
