Light ‘em on Up

LIGHT ‘EM ON UP

Friday Night at the traffic light
Make a right and then drive all Night
Don't think about stoppin’ before Sunrise
We're gonna Light ‘Em On Up right before your eyes
Light ‘Em On Up, c’mon Ladies and Gents
Let's keep it to a minimum of accidents
Money on the table cuz we gotta pay the rent
Nobody's gonna wonder where all the Money went

We're headin’ to Mojave, an old abandoned airfield
There's a hangar out there made of River Rock and Steel
You can park your vehicle down in the Riverbed
After dark the Desert is 100% dead
The Racers come from everywhere, from all across the States
I think there are a couple here who came from Outer Space
Everybody's ready to kick it into gear
Before the Desert Rangers say to get on out of here

We got some cool first timers who think they're gonna beat the clock
We got some cruel old timers who are sayin’ that's a crock
We got Dinah from the Diner for when the Red Flag drops
The best of our Contenders is an old Las Vegas Cop
Dinah’s Daddy's an Insider doin’ 3 for 13
Way down in New Mexico outside of Abilene
He got a stretch cuz he made a bet to turn red paper green
He's dyin’ that his Daughter is a teenage beauty queen

We’re beamin’ out by Satellite to  all the Federal Pens
If you think we're wrong or right, I tell you it depends
We're under so much pressure that we're all gettin’ The Bends
But now I got an agent for the Race that Never Ends
We got us a new Sponsor at Mercedes-Benz
Man, I gotta tell ya that it pays to have  good Friends
Let's Light ‘Em On Up and give ‘em all the Green
I got 4 on the Floor and Trinitrotoluene

There's a Red Light at the top of the electric Christmas tree
Flashin’ my opponent, but winkin’ back at me
Lock the 5-point harness; Rock the Racer’s Chorus
Put the pedal to the metal and watch me make History
We get a coded message from Dinah on the CB
Desert Rangers scramblin’ and they're all lookin’ for me
I dust off my Opponent, it don't matter much at all
This won't be the first time I'll be runnin’ from the Law

We load up my Camaro in the back of Dinah’s truck
She gets lipstick on my collar when she kisses me good luck
She drops me off at Roy's Cafe and she hands me a key
Points off to the parking lot at a silver SUV
She says I won the title when I smoked my enemy
She takes out an big envelope and passes it to me
Signed, sealed and delivered, she could be my Destiny
All I ever wanted was a girl to set me free

Gonna light ‘em up Forever in a Starshine Galaxy
Love brought us together and took the Devil out of me
Me and Dinah make our Home down by the Rivergate
It was high time that we make our play to get out of LA
But a spark still flies between us
When we think of all of our friends
So, let's jack up the truck with a kiss for good luck
For the Race that Never Ends
