Lyrics
Yeah, come on, come on, come on
Expression of excitement and encouragement to move forward.
Well, I'm a drivin' fool, got my foot on the gas
Self-identification as someone who loves driving, emphasizing speed with the foot on the gas.
Look out mister, I'm gonna pass
Warning to another driver about overtaking them.
Ninety miles an hour and I'm all alone
Driving at a high speed (90 mph) alone, enjoying the sensation.
The wind's in my face and I'm headed for home
Describing the experience of driving with the wind in the face, heading home.
Up from the streets in the heat of the night
Transition to the nighttime setting, possibly implying a sense of adventure.
Lookin' for a lover, ain't lookin' for no fight
Expressing the desire for a romantic partner, not seeking conflict.
Don't want no trouble, cause any harm
Stating the intention to avoid trouble or causing harm.
Just want a pretty girl hangin' on my arm
Desire for companionship with a beautiful girl.
Ain't no road too fast, ain't no road too slow
Confidence in facing any road, fast or slow.
Fill me up with the super, show me which way to go
Request for fuel (super) and guidance on the direction to take.
I'm a drivin' fool, drivin' fool
Repetition and emphasis on being a "drivin' fool."
Drivin' fool, drivin' fool
-Kickin' up the dirt and gravel
Describing the speed and toughness of the vehicle being driven.
Faster than you ever seen
-Harder than the road I travel
-This is a bitchin' machine
-I won't take no excuses
Rejecting excuses and phony lines, disliking people who waste time.
Don't want to hear no phony lines
-Can't stand a useless mother
-Wastin' my precious time
-Ain't no road too fast, ain't no road too slow
Reiteration of confidence in facing any road and the request for guidance.
fill me up with the super, show me which way to go
-I'm a drivin' fool, drivin' fool
-Drivin' fool, drivin' fool
-It's early in the morning and I left her bed
Leaving a lover in the morning, the highway calling, feeling indifferent about the direction of life.
Gimme more, gimme more is ringin' in my head
-The highway's callin' and I got to move
-I don't feel bad 'cause it happens to you
-I really don't know where I'm goin'
-This kind of life is tippin' the scale
-The marker on my dipstick says I'm cool
-Good-God almighty, I'm a drivin' fool
-Ain't no road too fast, ain't no road too slow
Repetition of the desire for fuel and guidance while emphasizing being a "drivin' fool."
Fill me up with the super, show me which way to go
-Drivin' fool, drivin' fool
-Drivin' fool, drivin' fool
-Drivin' fool, drivin' fool
Final repetition and emphasis on being a "drivin' fool."
Drivin' fool, drivin' fool
