One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey!
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no!
So I tried my best illegal move
A big black and white come and crushed my groove again!

CHORUS:
Go on & write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license n' all that jive
I can't drive 55! Oh No! Uh!

So I signed my name on number 24, hey!
Yeah the judge said, "Boy, just one more
I'm gonna throw your ass in the city joint"
Looked me in the eye, said, "You get my point?"
I said "Yeah!, Oh yea!"

CHORUS

I can't drive 55!
Uh!

When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer.
And I can't get my car out of second gear.
What used to take two hours now takes all day.
Huh - It took me 16 hours to get to L.A.!

CHORUS

No, no, no, I can't drive...(I can't drive 55!)
I can't drive... (I can't drive 55!)
I can't drive 55!

Soft wind blowing her hair into my face
Eyes still showing

Look at shadows dancing on the beach
Still horizons all within our reach
Sun still glowing underneath the sea
Love just growing

One night and I'm hooked over you
One kiss and there's nothing I can do
First love, she had to be so far away
First time I've been swept away

Spanish islands dot the better dream
Turquoise waters throw me back again
When I'm dreaming something takes me there
She's there waiting

One night, yeah, and I'm hooked over you
Just one kiss and there's nothing I can do
First love and she just had to be so far away
Oh, first time I've been swept away

I've been swept away
I've been swept away
I've been swept away

Love worth keeping, takes you by surprise
Untold promises cost the same
I know better, still I pay the price
She's there waiting

One night, oh yeah, and I'm hooked on you
Just one kiss and there's nothing I can do
First love, she had to be so far away
Just one time, I've been swept away, yeah

Oh, yeah
I've been swept away, yeah
I've been swept away, yeah

. . .


Look at me, it's hard to find
I know you can see what's on my mind
When my heart beats, it's two and four
It's getting hard to leave, I keep wanting more

Baby, 'cause rock is in my blood
Baby, rock is in my soul
And my heart's on fire, baby

It comforts me, makes me high
And what touches me I can't deny
You can take me so far from here
But it still remains in my ears

Baby, 'cause rock is in my blood
And, it's pumpin', pumpin', pumpin'
Baby, rock is in my soul
And my heart's on fire, baby

Stay with me, I need you so
Don't you ever leave, baby, please don't go
'Cause there's something here in all this confusion
Maybe I'll give to you a blood transfusion

Baby, 'cause rock it's in my blood
Pumpin' baby, baby, baby
Rock, it's in my soul, yeah
Rock is in my blood, oh
Baby, rock, oh yeah, is in my soul
Fire

. . .


You never hear about it
It's not the thing you talk over with friends
You never see it coming until it begins

But something stepped in between us
It's taken all of our time alone
In her heart love remains, but is seldom shown

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

A kiss goodbye, a kiss hello
You wonder why she get's lonely
You've got to show her, don't tell her
She's your one and only, yeah

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

We make promises, promises
And late at night you make big plans
Someday we'll run away and leave the love demands, yeah

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

Two sides of love
Two sides of love
Two sides of love
Two sides of love

I know this guy named Richard
He's my red-necked friend
He does everything the hard way
You see, Rich don't like to bend.
He went out for a haircut
Get himself a little trim
Got hooked up with a beautician
And she set out to do him in
She knocked Dick in the dirt
He said that it didn't hurt one bit, no.
She knocked Dick in the dirt
He jumped up and then she kissed him where it hurt.
Now Rich knows girls in England
He's a well traveled man
He's been around the world, you see.
He's met some hard demands.
But, Jane, she knocked him right down
Well, he'll just get right back up, whew!
Together they have this bond, you see.
She likes to tie him up.
She knocked Dick in the dirt
He said that it didn't hurt one bit, no.
She knocked Dick in the dirt
Yea, but, then she kissed him where it hurt, ow!
Now, Rich, he got all junked up.
Something rubbed him wrong.
But, Jane, she straightens him out.
Yeah, it never takes that long.
'Cause Rich, he has no conscience
He's of a friendly persuasion
And any chance he has to meet someone new.
He'll always rise to the occasion.
She knocked Dick in the dirt
He said that it didn't hurt one bit, no.
She knocked Dick in the dirt
He jumped up and then she kissed him where it hurt, ow!
She knocked Dick in the dirt
He said that it didn't hurt one bit, no.
She knocked Dick in the dirt
He jumped up and then she kissed him where it hurt.
Uh! Ow!

Our love, it means much more than that to me
You know it knocked me off my feet when she told me where it's at, you see

She said
"Don't make me wait too long
Don't make me wait, I'm holding on
Now, baby, can't you see, I only want you to marry me"
Oh yeah
