Lyrics
Speed Up
By Steve Burdette & Randy Bishop (ASCAP)

V.1
Just waitin' for the smoke to clear
Put on my shades and grab a beer
I'll be racing down the quarter mile
When I hit one fifty then I'll start to smile
Clear road ahead is all I need
So crank it up and give me some speed
CHORUS:
Speed Up...whoa, Speed Up
Speed Up...whoa, whoa, whoa, Speed Up
I've got my foot to the floor, both hands on the wheel
Flyin' down the road just to see how it feels
Speed Up
V.2
Speed limit signs are such a boor
I read what they say and add 50 more
Flyin' down the highway, settin' the pace
I don't wanna be in second place
Lots of flashing lights up ahead
Can't let me catch me or else I am dead
BRIDGE:
Where did all the miles go
They're over in a blink so
Let's fire up and we'll go
To places where you can't go slow
