Stroker's Theme Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Stroker Ace was born to race
He had a mean streak ten feet wide
A [G]son of a gun with a taste for fun and
More than his share of pride
Take a [F]dirt road curve with the devil's
Nerve and make a car dance across the mud
[D]Hauling shine was his regular line 'til the
[E]Track got in his blood
Was a [Am]real hot shot and he bragged a lot but
Man that fool could drive
'Cause he [G]loved the feel of the steering wheel
And the girls with the bed-room eyes
And in a [F]racing tide or a bar room fight
old Stroker stole the show
A [D]back stretch blazer,

[Chorus 1]
a real hell raiser and a race track Romeo
[F]Mama lock your daughters up
That wild bunch is back in [C]town
And them [F]little girls get frisky
When they hear that racecar [C]sound
They're [F]bringin out the yellow flag
Somebody's brakes have failed
There's an [C]oilslick on the inside
And a wreck along the rail
You better [G]stand on it, Stroker

[Interlude 1]
Cause a bandit's on your
[Am](tail)[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
It's a [Am]downright joy for a country boy
When he hears them engines moan
But you [G]gotta hang tough
and it gets real rough
When you're out there on your own
Cause they'll [F]push you around,
they'll knock you down
They'll shove ya up against the wall
And you [D]always know when an engine blows
And a [E]man can't win 'em all
You could [Am]push that car
Just a little too far any Sunday afternoon
And if you [G]break your neck
In some damn fool's wreck
they'll forget about you soon
But old [F]Stroker Ace was born to race
And it's worth all the trying
Just to [D]drink champagne in the Victory Lane

[Chorus 2]
And to hear that concrete whine
[F]Stroker get your dander up
This ain't no time to [C]lag
You've [F]got to make a lap up
If you want to take that checkered [C]flag
[F]Number ten is closin' in to even up the score
It's [C]time to wave bye-bye
and put the pedal on the floor
You better [G]stand on it Stroker

[Outro 1]
Cause you're blowin' off their
[Am](doors) Blow their doors off, Stroker
[Am]Stand on it, son
Ah, you good lookin' devil, you
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am][Am]
[Fade out]
