"Wheelies On A Hot Tin Roof" LIVE in Echo Park

A road-worn old acquaintance once enlightened me with this, "..Hell, man. If you've ever been to a stock car rally or even up close & personal with a street race, you can close your eyes, take a breath and 10 to 1 still be able to feel the heat, smell that gasoline and taste the exhaust years later... maybe more so if you're from the Southern States." I never thought that much about it... till now! ha

lyrics

“Wheelies on a Hot Tin Roof” • [music & words: Spencer Thornton]

We were coming in hot, coming in fast
Both takin’ chances, got that foot on tha gas
Some real tight curves - but she was built to last

We got caught up Phoenix, and Doraville, too
Made it almost to Monroe ‘fore she blew that fuse
Said oh my, my - she sure could move

She got my flywheel a spinin’, my pistons unglued
I couldn’t help myself.
And I knew right then, she was Livin’ Proof
Like doin’ wheelies— on a hot tin roof....
Like doin’ wheelies–– on a hot tin roof....

She’s got her arm out the window, two pistols in her lap
She was rollin’ this side of Royal Badass, baby
Cause oh my, my - that gal was fast

Got her hair twisted up in a beehive doo
And a tat that says, “Boy, I’ll finish way before you”
There’s no way in hell - a man could misconstrue

Yeah, She got my flywheel a spinin’, my pistons unglued
I couldn’t help myself
And I knew right then, she was Livin’ proof
Like doin’ wheelies—on a hot tin roof....
Like doin’ wheelies––on a hot tin roof....

We came burnin’ round the corner on gravel and air
Felt a hot rush of thunder... then she just disappeared
Cause, Oh My Lord – that girl could fly

She said "You owe me a C note, Boy, just stick it on the dash"
Then she shot me a smile, but it werem’t bout the cash
Hell yeah, she knew - she’d done a number on me

Yeah, she got my flywheel a spinin’, my pistons unglued
I couldn’t help myself
And I knew right then, she was Livin’ proof
Like doin’ wheelies—on a hot tin roof....
Like doin’ wheelies–– on a hot tin roof....
Like doin’ wheelies— on a hot tin roof....
on a hot tin roof...on a hot tin roof... on a hot tin roof
