Bruce Springsteen - Stand on It lyrics

Well Jimmy Lee was hookin'
'round the far turn
Of a funky southern Florida dirt track
He had mud caked on his goggles
And a screamin' 350 stacked up on his back
Well as he passed the stands
He was feelin' all tuckered out
When through the roar of his
Engine he heard somebody shout
"Stand on it, come on boy, stand on it"

Mary Beth started to drift, she hit the shift
But she just couldn't get a hand on it
Racin' some Red Hill boys
She had the deed to the ranch
And a grand on it
With eight grand blowin' hot on the red line
She blew past a hitchhiker out on Route 39
He hollered "Stand on it, go ahead, baby
Stand on it"

Well now when in doubt
And you can't figure it out just stand on it
Well, if your mind's confused
You don't know what you're gonna do
Well buddy, stand on it
Well if you've lost control of
The situation at hand
Go grab a girl and see a rock and roll band
And stand on it come on man, stand on it

Well now Columbus, he discovered America
Even though he hadn't planned on it
He got lost and woke up one morning
When he was about to land on it
He wouldn't have got out of Italy, man
That's for sure
Without Queen Isabella standing on the shore
Shouting "Stand on it, go ahead, man
Stand on it"

When in doubt and you can't figure it out
Just stand on it
Well, if your mind's confused
You don't know what you're gonna do
Well buddy, stand on it
Well if you've lost control of
The situation at hand
Grab a girl, go see a rock and roll band
And stand on it come on man, stand on it

Bobby was leadin' the pack, he settled back
And he got ready for the long haul
Well fifty yards from the finish line
Somebody roared up and they blew
Him into the wall
Well he rolled over twice, lucky to survive
Layin' in the back of the
Ambulance more dead than alive
Somebody shouted "Man, you call that drivin'?
Why didn't you stand on it?"

Stand on it come on, boy, stand on it
Stand on it come on, boy, stand on it
Stand on it come on, boy, stand on it
Stand on it come on, boy, stand on it
