Stand On It (Single B-Side - 1985)

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's feelin' all tuckered out
Down through the roar of his engine, he heard somebody shout
"Stand on it, c'mon 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 'head 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, go 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's about to land on it
He wouldn't of 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"

Yeah, well, when in doubt and you can't figure it out
Buddy, stand on it
Well, if your mind's confused
You don't know what you're gonna do
Then buddy, stand on it
Well, if you've lost control of the situation at hand
Go grab a girl, go see a rock and roll band
And stand on it
C'mon 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?"

Oh, stand on it
C'mon boy, stand on it
C'mon man, stand on it
C'mon boy, stand on it
C'mon, let's stand on it
C'mon man, stand on it
C'mon, let's stand on it
