1. Pink Hot Rod (Adler)
(Chorus) I got a Pink Hot Rod, I got a Pink Hot Rod
I got a Hot Pink Hot Rod, I got The Pink Hot Rod
I hope you got what it takes to take what I got
I got a Hot Pink Hot Rod
(Verse 1) Well, I used to drive an Avocado Eldorado but that don't move me now more
I used to drive Mercedes for all my ladies, I got a brand new thrill in store
(Chorus 2)
(Verse 2) Well, I'm built for comfort I ain't built for speed
I got everything that a good gal needs
I can draw a load if I the notion 'cause it ain't the meat, Child, it's the motion
Draw conclusions where you might arrive, I'm even gonna let you drive
Put you right next to my drivin' wheel, Hey Mama now how does that feel
(Chorus 3)

Let me tell you about my Woman, she's a lady truck driver
She drives a flaming chariot and her name is Harriet
(Verse 1) She's driving on that fast track, with an 18 wheeler chrome stack Mack
She's got that crazy CB gab, she's got a slogan written on her cab . . .
(Chorus) Harriet Can Carry It, Harriet Can Carry It
(Verse 2) She'll load her truck in a minute, put the contents of your house in it
Give her a chance to prove to you this is the girl to really move you
(Chorus)
She's a Mean Mother Trucker, etc...

Callin’ In The Flag

(Verse 1) Well, I got to get this tonnage on the roll, before the DS puts this rattler in the hole
Gotta bat the slack out of the drag, Callin’ In The Flag, Callin’ In The Flag, tonite
(Verse 2) Well, it ain't no string of varnish just a little ole peddler freight
But we be kickin' gondolas clear across the state
So brakeman pull the pin, before the dog law brings us in, Callin’ In The Flag, tonite
(Verse 3) Put my 19 orders in the pocket of my Oshkosh jeans, break out my mocha java jug
and lunchbox and go to beans
Well, it's all black down the side, we're gonna make those box cars ride, Callin’ In The Flag, tonite

Ashtabula, Ashtabula
I'm going back home yes I am, away from this crazy traffic jam, I wanna hear that screen door slam
I know I ain't gonna make no fortune, while that summer sun is scorching
I just wanna sit on the porch and listen to that ole ballgame
Ashtabula, Ashtabula
That ole Lake Erie swell, I wanna smell that backyard barbecue
When it's candy apple time round a Halloween Pumpkin
Waiting in the harbor for my boat to come in
My ever-lovin' home town
Ashtabula

Hubcap Heaven
02:40
|
|||
|
(Verse 1) Through the neon nights of my miss-spent youth
Drinking sneaky pete wine and acting uncouth
I used to cruise up and down my radio dial
Learning how to sing Midwestern style
We drove a hundred miles one hot July
To see Bo Diddley up in Dayton Ohio
Under age, no admission, we sure got caught
But we boogied all night in the parking lot
(Chorus) Hubba Hubba Hubcap Heaven, Hubba Hubba Hubcap Heaven
Hubcap Heaven get your motor revvin' it's Hubcap Heaven tonight
(Verse 2) Well, I'm grown up now like the price of gas
But I fondly remember those days gone past
With passing lanes, growing pains and matching stains
Stealing the car keys, gone like a cool breeze
Spinning like a spinning wheel
Found my identity, lost my virginity in the back of a '65 Oldsmobile
Chorus

Night Shift
05:10
|
|||
|
(Spoken Intro) Do you ever wonder about those ladies you see
Leaning on lampposts on the other side of town
Looking so glamorous and sexy
But you know, there's another side to the story
Life is not always what it appears to be
They say that every picture tells a story etc.
(Verse 1) Nurse on the night ward, hospital for problem-child men
Florence Nightingale's got nothing on You, Baby, Say It Again
Treating the nine to five, plastic macks get into their acts
Dealing with the debris of respectability keeping executive marriages intact
It's the oldest profession in the whole wide world
But that don't make you respectable, Girl, on the Night Shift
(Chorus) On The Night Shift, all the credit card carrying gents
On The Night Shift, Get their legitimate expense
On The Night Shift, Spend their happy happy hour
On The Night Shift, With the Women In Power
(Verse 2) Even the Internal Revenue wants their slice of cake
Even though they say you're illegally on the take
Even though they claim you're not legit
They still want their little bit
City politicians and real-estate sharks
Stop you from posing on lamp posts and run you off the block
Police predators on the jungle beat
Praying on your meat when they cross your beat
You're tough and tender and such a troubled breed
Dealing in affairs of the heart
Fantasy and frustration that need to be freed
Keeping the World from coming apart
Chorus

Breakfast In Texas

|
|||
|
Way down in Texas everything is Big
When they serve you Breakfast, Kid, you gonna flip your lid
(Chorus) Breakfast In Texas, Breakfast In Texas, Feel good all day long
(Verse 2) Steak and Eggs, Biscuits, Mexican food
You don't clean your plate, Boy, they gonna think that You're rude
(Chorus) Breakfast In Texas, Breakfast In Texas, Sunny side up, Feel good all day long
(Verse 3) Grits & Cornbread, Steak-Fried Chicken
Makes the gravy licker thicker than guitar Chicken-Pickin'
(Chorus) Breakfast In Texas, Breakfast In Texas, Feel good all day long
(Verse 4) Huevos Rancheros, Enchilados, Oatmeal, Chicken-Fried Steak
That ain't all you'll find down to the Lone Star State
(Chorus) Breakfast In Texas, Breakfast In Texas, Feel good all day long
All day long, Breakfast In Texas etc...

Paranoia, PA.

(Verse 1) Paranoia PA. Lord have Mercy
Paranoia PA. That's the Harrisburg controversy
This so called civilian nuclear fallacy, is covering up our military policy
It ain't safe, it ain't cheap
It ain't labor intensive and consequences we reap are so deep
Atomic radiation remains your witches brew
Paranoia PA. don't let it happen to you
(Verse 2) Paranoia PA. military subscriber
Paranoia PA. who's gonna survive her
Well, now foundry furnace is cold as ice
Steel mills shuttin' down left and right
That's the price, It ain't nice
Concerning nuclear waste we got to get on the Case and stop this grim device
Atomic bomb will blow out your brains, You know it's True
Paranoia PA. Don't Let It Happen To YOU, DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU

(Verse 1) Buffalo Buffalo Eastern Standard Time
They put your name on a Nickel, now you ain't worth a Dime
(Verse 2) Buffalo Buffalo I never knew you in your prime
Now your steel mill's sleeping along the New York Central line
(Bridge) Just like a big beast under attack
They won't even give you the chance to adapt
Brick-Cote houses by the railroad track
Floundering foundries and mountains of scrap
(Verse 3) Buffalo Buffalo I gotta stop this cryin'
I'm gonna look for work across the Cuyhoga County line
