[Verse 1]
Take a ton of bolt and steel
A whole lot to sweat, a set of wheels
On the Speedway
The flag is down, pistons pound
Plenty of engines ripping around
On the Speedway

[Chorus]
Go for the money and lead the pack
Push the throttle and burn the track
Curl and swirl like you doing a dance
Straightaway is coming and now's your chance
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway

[Verse 2]
Stomp that pedal down to the floor
As much as you give, crowd wants more
More, more, more, more, more on the Speedway
On the Speedway

Take a spin, hit the brakes
A young little girl shivers and shakes
On the Speedway
Clear the way, coming through
Kiss from your baby is just pushing you
On the Speedway

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Stomp that pedal down to the floor
As much as you give, crowd wants more
More, more, more, more, more on the Speedway
On the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
