lyrics

I remember laughing in the backseat of her car
When we’d get airborne on the bumps we’d scream for more
She’d say, “Sit back girls and hold on tight”
Go mama, don’t worry about the blue lights
Go mama, we can beat them blue lights

Yeah zero to sixty in under six seconds
Makes you feel like you’re on top of the world
Zero to sixty in under six seconds
Makes you forget you’re just a girl
Makes you forget you’re just a girl

She could’ve been the best race car driver in the world
She would've blown them Nascar wimps away
Her Delta ‘98 was just a yellow blur
Go mama, don’t worry about them blue lights
Go mama, we can beat them blue lights

Yeah zero to sixty in under six seconds
Makes you feel like you’re on top of the world
Zero to sixty in under six seconds
Makes you forget you’re just a girl
Makes you forget you’re just a girl

She could dodge a possum in the road going 105
We’d beg, “Oh, daddy, please let mama drive”
She knows where she’s going, she makes real good time
Go mama, don’t worry about them blue lights
Go mama, we can beat them blue lights

Yeah zero to sixty in under six seconds
Makes you feel like you’re on top of the world
Zero to sixty in under six seconds
Makes you forget you’re just a girl
Makes you forget you’re just a girl

Yeah zero to sixty in under six seconds
Makes you feel like you’re on top of the world
Zero to sixty in under six seconds
Makes you forget you’re just a girl
Makes you forget you’re just a girl, yeah

Trailer Bride Chapel Hill, North Carolina

One gets the sense that, while they might not have seen Robert Johnson make his bargain with the devil, Trailer Bride may have been around when the deal went bad and debts were collected. Trailer Bride is the band for the tragic, flawed figure in all of us: reaching for the heavens while keeping one eye on the gutter. ... more
