Lyrics
Well I've led an evil life, so they say
Expressing acknowledgment of leading a life considered morally wrong or sinful by some.
But I'll hide from the devil on judgement day, I said
Planning to avoid facing consequences from the devil on the day of judgment.
Move, hot-rod, move man
Encouraging a hot-rod vehicle to move or accelerate.
Move, hot-rod, move man
Repetition of the encouragement to move the hot-rod.
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah
Continuing to urge the hot-rod to move down the line, emphasizing urgency.
Well me and the devil, at a stop light
Describing a moment at a stoplight with the devil, who starts moving when the speaker is out of sight.
He started rollin', I was out of sight, I said
Reiterating the need for the hot-rod to move.
Move, hot-rod, move man
Encouraging the hot-rod to move again, reinforcing the urgency.
Move, hot-rod, move man
Repetition of the encouragement to move the hot-rod.
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah
Continuing to emphasize the need for the hot-rod to move down the line.
Well, goin' pretty fast, looked behind
Reflecting on high speed and noticing the devil approaching at a faster pace.
A-hear come the the devil doin' ninety-nine, I said
Reiterating the urgency for the hot-rod to move as the devil speeds up.
Move, hot-rod, move man
Encouraging the hot-rod to move again, emphasizing urgency.
Move, hot-rod, move man
Repetition of the encouragement to move the hot-rod.
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah
Continuing to emphasize the need for the hot-rod to move down the line.
Well thought I was smart, the race was won
Feeling confident about winning the race but realizing the devil is still in pursuit.
A-hear come the devil doin' a-hundred and one
Noticing the devil accelerating to a higher speed (a-hundred and one).
Move, hot-rod, move man
Reiterating the urgency for the hot-rod to move, acknowledging the devil's increased speed.

Well, goin' pretty fast, looked behind
Similar situation as in lines 13-17, with the devil again approaching at high speed.
A-hear come the the devil doin' ninety-nine, I said
Reiterating the urgency for the hot-rod to move as the devil speeds up.
Move, hot-rod, move man
Encouraging the hot-rod to move again, emphasizing urgency.
