There's an old Trans-Am in the back alley*
With flat tires and no guts
I know the radio works
Because I keep a battery hooked up
I settle in and reach back
Behind the seat I got a bottle stashed
I box the cap, tip it back
Feel like takin' the night out like that
Sometimes I find myself losin' my mind
I know I'm a better man with you by my side
But there's day I just wanna feel like I've got
A rocket on a wing, and a rabbit on my wheel
There's a speed way in Daytona Beach
Where the crowd roars, and the tires screech
And I might have had a piece of that history
Instead I got my kicks on a city street
Travelling at high speeds, the tight squeeze, the victories
Given the choice, I couldn't sop
Do I ride the heavens or let it drop?
Sometimes I find myself losin' my mind
I know I'm a better man with you by my side
But there's days I just wanna feel like I've got
A rocket on my wing, and a rabbit on my wheel
There's a beautiful woman and a baby girl
That keep me out of trouble in this crazy world
How I found her, I don't know
But I'm hanging on, because she's pure gold
And it's tempting, believe me
To put an engine in that old '73
But I'm sure it would cost my life
So I straighten up, and fly right
Sometimes I find myself losin' my mind
I know I'm a better man with you by my side
But there's days I just wanna feel like I've got
A rocket on my wing, and a rabbit on my wheel
I've got a rabbit on my wheel..
I've got a rabbit on my wheel..
