Stand On It

Stand On It

Well Jimmy Lee was hooking 'round the far turn of a funky southern Florida dirt track
He had mud caked on his goggles and a screaming 350 stacked up on his back
Well as he passed the stands he was feeling all tuckered out
When through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout
"Stand on it, come on boy, stand on it"

Mary Beth started to drift, she hit the shift but she just couldn't get a hand on it
Racing some Red Hill boys, she had the deed to the ranch and a grand on it
With eight grand blowing hot on the red line
She blew past a hitchhiker out on Route 39
He hollered "Stand on it, go 'head baby, stand on it"

Well now 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're gonna do, well buddy, stand on it
Well if you've lost control of the situation at hand
Go grab a girl and see a rock and roll band
And stand on it, come on man, stand on it
Stand on it, boys!

Hey-hey, well now Columbus he discovered America even though he hadn't planned on it
He got lost and woke up one a-morning when he's about to land on it
He wouldn't have got out of Italy, man that's for sure
Without Queen Isabella standing on the shore
Shouting "Stand on it, go ahead man, stand on it"

Yeah but when in doubt and you can't figure it out, buddy stand on it
Well if your mind's confused, you don't know what you're 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 and roll band
And stand on it, come on man, stand on it

Bobby was leading the pack, he settled back and he got ready for the long haul
Well fifty yards from the finish line somebody roared up and they blew him into the wall
Well he rolled over twice, lucky to survive
Laying in the back of the ambulance more dead than alive
Somebody shouted "Man, you call that driving, why didn't you stand on it"

Go!
Stand on it
Come on boys, stand on it
Come on man, stand on it
Come on boys, stand on it
Come on baby, stand on it
Come on man, stand on it
Come on, let's stand on it
Ahhh whoa!
