They were big healthy boys
you wouldn't think that they needed
to take what they'd take on that scene
danny had blue-black hair and a hot rod
danny was an ace of the circuit
and dean was flash and mean
Danny drove a black v8 fuel-injected
the head planed, you know what i mean
and dean had a straight with flames on the bonnet
i was in love with danny
but the crowd was in love with dean
They drove their hot rods into hell and back
and as a matter of fact
you couldn't get a razor blade between
their wheels as they came around the corner
and i was in love with danny
but the crowd was in love with dean
It was the last time around
the flag came down
the crowd roared, their heads turned
tires screamed and rubber burned
They came into the straight, neck and neck
then it happened
danny's car went into a spin
and dean was killed trying to avoid it
and the crowd was united in hysterium
but danny, he went on to win
Danny gave up racing
found he couldn't face it
he ended up on gin and gasoline
dean had died a hero, but danny died a zero
and i was in love with danny
but the crowd was in love with dean
They drove their hot rods into hell and back
and as a matter of fact
you couldn't get a razor blade between
their wheels as they came around the corner
and i was in love with danny
but the crowd was in love with dean
I was in love with danny
but the crowd was in love with dean (4x)
