Underneath the Hood

Words & Music by Brenda Layne

People say we ain’t got the stuff

Put us down and that makes things rough

But I say we are only warming up

And everybody’s gonna eat our dust

When we get all revved up

 

So it’s time to kick it way into overdrive

Open up this thing ’cause we can have a really nice ride

With all this high performance gear all we’ve done is Sunday drive

I’m lookin’ to work it, to cook from where the power’s always lurkin’

Underneath the hood

I’m lookin’ underneath the hood

 

Shallow heads live in fear and doubt

Deeper ends require us to stick things out

What we’ve got is more than hope and talk

and that’s gonna get obvious

When we crank it up

 

So it’s time to kick it way into overdrive

Open up this thing ’cause we can have a really nice ride

With all this high performance gear all we’ve done is Sunday drive

I’m lookin’ to work it, to cook from where the power’s always lurkin’

Underneath the hood

I’m lookin’ underneath the hood

 

C’mon let’s drive

C’mon let’s break the rules down in record speed time

C’mon let’s drive

C’mon it’s t.i.m.e., t…t…time

 

Time to kick it way into overdrive

Open up this thing ’cause we can have a really nice ride

With all this high performance gear all we’ve done is Sunday drive

I’m lookin’ to work it, to cook from where the power’s always lurkin’

Underneath the hood

I’m lookin’ underneath the hood

and it sure is lookin’ good

from underneath the hood
