Let Sally Drive
Sammy Hagar · Ten 13 [1996]
Sally's in love
With her automobile
Says she feels so sexy
From behind the wheel
She got dual carburetors
Ported and relieved
She pull the soft top down
She makes the devil believe, yeah
Packs a 427
Down on 101
Crack a buck 10-11
On the radar gun
She roll it over to the shoulder
Moving past her man
Swing it back to the fast lane
Singing, "Catch me if you can"
She got 5 speed, 4 elevens
Ten 13 in a quarter mile
Trick gas, full blown nitrous
Speed queen with a smile
Ride, ride, ride, let Sally ride
Drive, drive, drive, let Sally drive
Ride, ride, ride, let Sally ride
Drive, drive, drive, let Sally drive, ooh, hey
Drive, drive, drive
Got long tall Sally
Blastin' on the box
Just like Mustang Sally
Kicked up a notch
Puts the pedal to the metal
Tacking 7 grand
Smoking 50 yards of rubber in the rear view mirror
Singing, "Catch me if you can"
Ride, ride, ride, let Sally ride
Drive, drive, drive, let Sally drive
Ride, ride, ride, let Sally ride
Drive, drive, drive, let Sally drive, ah
Let Sally ride
Drive, drive, drive, let Sally drive
Let Sally ride, let Sally ride
Yeah, let Sally ride
Let Sally Drive
