I had a date, and the hour was late

I was hitch-hikin' in the rain

The cars were few, and i was hungry for you

I knew i'd do anything

I found a parked car, sittin' all alone

I wired 'er, fired 'er, and i was gone

Here i come, i'm on my way, yeah



Hot on the heels of love, yeah

Hot on the heels of love for ya

Hot on the wheels of love, yeah



I guess i was drunk, but that's ok

Cause i knew what i had to do

Keep this ford on the road, if it don't explode

I'd pass anything for you

So i put 'er in race, get on with the chase

Justa burnin' for your love

Nothin' can stop me, nothing can catch me

Except the lord, yeah



Hot on the heels of love, now

Hot on the heels of love

Hot on the wheels of love, yeah



I see him, sherriff

Mercy, thinks he's comin' up fast

I only have half a mile left to catch that boy

He's headed for the border, damn, he's gone



Here i am, a hell of a man

Guess what i got for you

Something strong, and something long time overdue

Baby come on, gonna get it on

So don't put up a fight

I've come too far in this old car

We're gonna rock 'n' roll tonight



Hot on the heels of love, yeah

Hot on the heels of love for ya

Hot on the wheels of love, yeah, my my
