Lyrics:

I was born in a hurry but there wasn't any placeNowhere fast seemed better than nowhere slowI never really got the hang of hanging aroundWhen you get down to itI guess I always knew itWhat it is that makes my world go roundCHORUSIt's a matter of horsepowerFor 8 seconds on miles per hourIt's the way I am and it's a fact I can't ignoreYea, big boy legged, fuel injectedRunning wild, radar detectedMan can always stand a little bit moreHorsepowerWell the view looks better from ahead than it looks behindI've got a need to speed and I don't mean the drugs-store kindSome people like a life that barely moves at allI say more power to themThen I fly right through 'emTil it slows down to a crawlCHORUSThen I think about horsepowerFor 8 seconds on miles per hourIt's the way I am and it's a fact I can't ignoreYea, big boy legged, fuel injectedRunning wild, radar detectedMan can always stand a little bit moreHorsepower
