Light ‘em on Up Words by Douglas Heyes Jr. 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 *********
