Horsepower Lyrics - Icon - Chris Ledoux

I was born in a hurry but there wasn't any place to go 

Nowhere fast seemed better than nowhere slow 

I never really got the hang of hanging around 

When you get down to it 

I guess I always knew it 

What it is that makes my world go round 

[Chorus] 

It's a matter of horsepower 

For 8 seconds or miles per hour 

It's the way I am and it's a fact I can't ignore 

Yea, big four legged, fuel injected 

Running wild, radar detected 

Man can always stand a little bit more 

Horsepower 

Well the view looks better from ahead than it looks behind 

I've got a need to speed and I don't mean the drugs-store kind 

Some people like a life that barely moves at all 

I say more power to them 

Then I fly right through 'em 

'Til it slows down to a crawl 

[Chorus] 

Then I think about horsepower 

For 8 seconds or miles per hour 

It's the way I am and it's a fact I can't ignore 

Yea, big four legged, fuel injected 

Running wild, radar detected 

Man can always stand a little bit more 

Horsepower
