Well I've led an evil life, so they say
But I'll out run the devil on judgement day, I said
Move, hot-rod, move man!
Move, hot-rod, move man!
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah!
Well I've led an evil life, so they say
But I'll hide from the devil on judgement day, I said
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah
Well me and the devil, at a stop light
He started rollin', I was out of sight, I said
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah
Well, goin' pretty fast, looked behind
A-hear come the the devil doin' ninety-nine, I said
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah
Well thought I was smart, the race was won
A-hear come the devil doin' a-hundred and one
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line
Well, goin' pretty fast, looked behind
A-hear come the the devil doin' ninety-nine, I said
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah!
Well I've led an evil life, so they say
But I'll hide from the devil on judgement day, I said
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move, hot-rod, move man
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line
I was brought up on Gene Vincent and the blue caps, as my dad was a fan, and i got into him in 1976, ..and it wasnt because of Ian Dury, but i do like some of his stuff.
The story is that when Gene and the band went to record their first session, the "executives" had a half dozen session players in reserve in case the band wasn't good enough. When they heard Gallup's lead on this song, they quietly packed their equipment and left.
