[Verse 1] I roll up slow in the morning heat Thirty-two roadster, all steel and meat Long hood shining, candy-apple red Whitewall grin and a low-slung bed Chrome got teeth on the front end grin Twin pipes bark when I lean back in Top folded down, let the sun look in This old machine makes the whole block spin [Pre-Chorus] Hear that rumble, feel that shake She don’t idle, she awake Tight little wheel and a heavy frame Say my name, she answer the same [Chorus] Powerhouse on wheels Powerhouse on wheels My red roadster steals Powerhouse on wheels She’s a hot rod queen With a lean, mean thrill Thirty-two dream Powerhouse on wheels [Verse 2] Low-cut seat with a stitched-up seam Dash like a cockpit from a speed-kid dream Steer it gentle, she cuts so clean Takes my hands like a nickel machine Fuel in the tank and the road ahead Rear view small but the world looks dead Everybody stares when I pass on through That old roadster don’t ask, it just do [Pre-Chorus] Hear that rumble, feel that shake She don’t idle, she awake Tight little wheel and a heavy frame Say my name, she answer the same [Chorus] Powerhouse on wheels Powerhouse on wheels My red roadster steals Powerhouse on wheels She’s a hot rod queen With a lean, mean thrill Thirty-two dream Powerhouse on wheels [Bridge] From the curb to the county line She hits that road like a bullet of shine No fuss, no fear, just pure control A little gas and she grabs my soul [Chorus] Powerhouse on wheels Powerhouse on wheels My red roadster steals Powerhouse on wheels She’s a hot rod queen With a lean, mean thrill Thirty-two dream Powerhouse on wheels [Outro] Yeah, she’s mine That red road ride Powerhouse on wheels Let her fly
