FEEL THE NEED (The Untold Story)

I was driving on route forty six

Headed to Salinas on a business trip

I felt a chill up my spine, went a little numb

Wondered where on earth did that car come from

~~~*1st Chorus*~~~

It appeared like something from the past throwing dirt

Whitewall tires and fender skirts

A 55 Chevy sporting Gypsy Red

I finally shook the feeling as it flew ahead

I punched the gas …piece of cake

I drive a Maserati for Heaven’s sake

Crested the pass and thought …what the hell

Knew I had a story I could never tell

~~*~~

Three months later, a September day

Back to Salinas going the same way

I felt excitement building heading up the pass

Didn't see a soul so I hit the gas

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

It appeared out of nowhere like the last had done

A 550 Spyder in a silver tone

I was flying down the grade with the ghost machine

Racing like a rebel 

With the late James Dean

At the intersection we said farewell

Got me another story that I’ll never tell

~~*~~

I've been there every weekend for the last five years

Now I've quit my job and switched careers

Headed to the pass in a Dagger GT

This time Jimmy wants to ride with me

~~~*3rd Chorus*~~~

They appear out of nowhere every time I go

Looking for a little action on “Racers road”

It’s a classic addiction horsepower and speed

Yes, I feed the fetish when I feel the need

It’s all I've ever dreamed of, all I want to do

Fly with the guys who love it too

~~*~~

I've never told a soul, but if your car’s got speed

You can race with a legend if you feel the need

Have an open mind and you’ll do well

Get yourself a story that you’ll never tell

Feel the Need...
