Her Daddy bought her
a baby blue Duster
when she turned seventeen
Her daddy was a
fool to trust her
that was one little mean machine
Lord you need horse sense
to handle horse power
Momma should have intervened
the speedometer said
One-twenty in the red
liscense plate said Darlene
But She was always in a hurry
tryin’ to pass
peddle to the metal lord
and gave it the gas
Rock and Roll music
playing full blast
how long can she last
going that fast?
She made a monkey of the county sheriff
He couldn’t just look away
She burned by
at a million miles an hour
makin’ those pine trees sway
o this farmers daughter
wasn’t doin’ like she oughtta
she was jumpin’ curbs
and skippin’ school
she did a donut in the lawn
of the old folks home
sheriff let her off
’cause she was cute
But She was always in a hurry
tryin’ to pass
peddle to the metal lord
and gave it the gas
Rock and Roll music
playing full blast
how long can she last
going that fast?
How long can she last
how long can she last
how long can she last…. goin’ that fast?
Daddy was a moble home magnate
He couldn’t tell his baby no
He made so much cash off the trailer trade
He thought he had to put on a show
She had a credit card from Neimon Marcus
and Frederick’s of Hollywood
she showed the little boys things
in their wildest dreams
they never thought they’d
have it so good
But She was always in a hurry
tryin’ to pass
peddle to the metal lord
she gave it the gas
Rock and Roll music
playing full blast
how long can she last
going that fast?
How long can she last
how long can she last
how long can she last…. goin’ that fast?
How long can she last OWW!
how long can she last
how long can she last…. goin’ that fast?
Oww! oww! oww!
How long can she last…. goin’ that fast?
