Lyrics

Headed down the turnpike travelin’ fast
Outta control headed for a crash
Tryin’ to get off tryin’ to turn around
But I can’t slow this mercury down

chorus
Well I can’t slow down, said I can’t slow down
Can’t seem to get my feet on the ground
Head over heals and tryin’ to hang on
But I can’t slow this mercury down

She’s a pretty girl she’s the kind that make
You step on the gas let your foot off the brake
Leavin’ the ground like a 747
I hope that little girl is takin’ me to heaven

chorus
Cause I can’t slow down, said I can’t slow down
Pedal to the floor 90 miles an hour
That pretty little girl got me spinnin’ round
And I can’t slow this mercury down

Flyin’ high just a little bit faster
Look like another aviation disaster
Headline read, “Ford Left Ground”
‘Don’t look like he ever gonna touch down’
