"Stand On It" lyrics
"Stand On It"
Well, Jimmy Lee was hookin' around the far turn
Of a funky southern Florida dirt track
He had mud caked on his goggles
And a screamin' 350 stacked up on his back
Well, as he passed the stands, he was feelin' all tuckered out
When through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout
"Stand on it, come on man, stand on it!"
Mary Beth started to drift
She hit the shift but she just couldn't get a hand on it
Racin' some red hills boys
She had the deed to the ranch and a grand on it
With eight grand blowin' hot on the red line
She blew past a hitch-hiker out on route 39, he hollered
"Stand on it, go ahead baby, stand on it!"
Well, when in doubt and you can't figure it out
Just stand on it
Well, if your mind's confused
You don't know what you want to do
Then buddy, stand on it
Well, if you've lost control of the situation at hand
Grab a girl, go see a rock'n'roll band
Stand on it, come on man, stand on it
Well, Columbus he discovered America
Even though he hadn't planned on it
He got lost, woke up one morning
When he was about to land on it
He wouldn't a got outta Italy that's for sure
Without Queen Isabella standing on the shore shoutin'
"Stand on it, come on boy, stand on it!"
Well, when in doubt and you can't figure it out
Just stand on it
Well, if your mind's confused
You don't know what you gonna do
Then buddy, stand on it
Well, if you've lost control of the situation at hand
Grab a girl, go see a rock'n'roll band
Stand on it, come on man, stand on it

David Bowie - "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)" She had an horror of rooms, she was tired, you can't hide beat

Chicago - "25 Or 6 To 4" Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up, I close my eyes

Staring blindly...

I got some news to tell you, oh-oh

It felt so right
It was one of those nights
