Stroker's Theme

Stroker Ace was born to race

He had a mean streak two feet wide

A son of a gun with a taste for fun and more than his share of pride

Take a dirt road curve with a devils nerve

Make a car dance across the mud

And haulin' shine was his regular line till the track got in his blood

Was a real hot shot and he bragged a lot, but man that fool could drive

Cause he loved the feel of the steering wheel and the girls with bedroom eyes

And in a race of time or a bar room fight, Ol' Stroker stole the show

A back stretch blazer, a real hell raiser and a racetrack Romeo

Mama lock your daughters up

That vile bunch is back in town

And them little girls get frisky when they hear that racecar sound

They're bringing out the yellow flag; somebody's brakes have failed

There's an alsike on the inside and a wreck along the rail

You'd better stand on it Stroker cause a bandit's on your tail

It's a dynamite joy for a country boy when he hears them engines moan

But you've gotta hang tough when it gets real rough when you're out there on your own

Cause they'll push you down, they'll knock you down, they'll shove you up against the wall

And you always know when the engine blows that a man can't win 'em all

You can push that car just a little too far any Sunday afternoon

And if you'd break your neck in some damn fool wreck they'd forget about you soon

But Ol' Stroker Ace was born to race

And it's worth all the trying

Just the dirt champagne in the victory lane and to hear that concrete whine

Stroker get your dander up this aint no time to laugh

You've got to make the lap up if you're gonna take that checkered flag

Number 10 is closin' in to even up the score

It's time to wave bye bye and put the pedal on the floor

You'd better stand on it Stroker cause your blowin' off their doors

Blow their doors off Stroker

Stand on it, son

Ahh, you good lookin' devil you
