[Verse 1]
Oh baby, baby, baby
Baby, I'm gonna leave you
Honey, don't ask me why
Twenty-seven more minutes
Before I say bye bye
[Chorus]
Hard drivin' man
Hard drivin' man
Hard drivin' man
I'm drivin' just as hard as I can
[Verse 2]
Got me a train down in Texas
I took it up to Montreal
I got me a gal on old 51
And I hope my rig don't stall
[Chorus]
Hard drivin' man
Hard drivin' man
Hard drivin' man
I'm drivin' just as hard as I can
Drive it baby
[Harmonica solo]
[Breakdown]
Well yeah, well yeah, well yeah, well yeah, well yeah, well yeah
Baby baby, baby baby, baby baby, baby baby, baby baby, baby baby, baby baby
Baby, baby, you're looking so good to me baby
We're gonna get a little piano in here
Ooh baby, I love you
I said ooh baby, I love you
Ooh baby, I love you (come on)
Come on baby make it now
You know we ain't got all night
Do the [funky fever?], get in the [crib?]
Come on baby, come on
A little chicken pickin', let me hear you
(Barnyard guitar riff)
Aw, yeah
Now we gonna motivate this one, you gotta help us
Like this, watch
You heard of the boogaloo?
You heard of the Boston monkey?
You heard of the Philly freeze?
We've got the Detroit demolition here for you tonight!
Baby, fly with me
Oh babe
I want it
And I drive it
And I fly it
Baby baby baby baby, come on
[Verse 3]
Ate at the Four Wind Diner
I slept in the Woodrose Hall
If I don't see my home again
Then you won't even care at all
[Out Chorus]
Hard drivin' man
Hard drivin' man
Hard drivin' man
Hard drivin' man
Hard drivin' man
Hard drivin' man
Hard drivin' man
Driving just as hard as I can baby
