Three o'clock, thismorning, i woke up in a dream.
Thought i heard a flathead motor roar, i thought i smelled gasoline.
A feeling came upon me, that i ain't had in years.
Something like a hot dry wind, whistling past my ears.
Saying "time, time, time is all you got".
There's a memory that's still burning, way down in my mind.
And that's why, i'm going out and trying, a flathead one more time.

I ain't seen my racing buddies in thirty years, or more.
One by one i lost them, out on the dry leaf floor.
We learnt to push those flathead cars as hard as they could go.
Just like old whiskey bob, down on thunder road.
I hear their voices calling, just accross the finish line.
And that's why, i'm going out and trying, a flathead one more time.

I'll get back to you baby, don't you have no fear.
'cos i been there, and i wrecked that, and baby i'm still here.
But i can't take you with me, when i cross the finish line.
And that's why, i'm going out and trying, a flathead, one, more, time.

Time, time, time is all you got.
