lyrics

Headed for nowhere
Spinning my wheels
That was yesterday
The way I used to feel
But now it’s a whole new deal and I’m revved up
Everything is good
You are the rumble under my hood

When I saw you coming
A spark did ignite
When I kissed your lips
I had to hold on tight
Fresh from the showroom so bright and shiny
Doing my motor good
You are the rumble under my hood
You are the rumble under my hood

Some kind of joyride that I’ve found
Let’s keep it moving and never slow down
Never slow down

I don’t mind being a little overheated
When cooling down’s so good
You are the rumble under my hood
You are the rumble under my hood
You are the rumble under my hood
