Katie Wants a Fast One
Steve Wariner · The Hits Collection [Capitol] [2003]
Tapping on the floorboard,
Banging on the wheel,
Punchin' ev'ry button on the radio,
But everything's too slow.
Katie wants a fast one, quicker than the last one.
Only two times she gets that rush,
Is makin' tracks and kickin' up dust.
Katie wants a fast one, you know she's got to have one.
'Cause that's what makes her motor run,
Katie wants a fast one!
Tearing up the yard on her ridin' mower
Neighbor yells, "Katie, better go a little slower!"
Taking every corner up on two wheels
That's how she gets her thrills.
Katie wants a fast one, quicker than the last one.
Only two times she gets that rush,
Is makin tracks and kickin up dust
Katie wants a fast one, you know she's gotta have one.
'Cause that's what makes her motor run,
Katie wants a fast one!
Chompin' at the bit in the checkout line
Katie's got a thing about wasting time.
If she pulls up behind you in the car-pool lane,
Just get out of her way!
'Cause Katie wants a fast one, quicker than the last one.
Only two times she gets that rush,
Is makin' tracks and kickin' up dust
Katie wants a fast one, you know she's gotta have one.
'Cause that's what makes her motor run,
Katie wants a fast one!
Katie wants a fast one, ooooo, she's gotta have one...
