[Verse 1] My Volvo sits in a parking spot Paint a little dull, but it still won’t rot Lean in hard rolls up with a grin Soft and sooth slide in with the tools they bring No big talk, they get straight to the fix One on the pipe, one on the clips I watch them work like they’ve done this before Two good hands, and then a little more [Pre-Chorus] Lean in hard calls out the next move Soft and sooth catch it without a bruise Every bolt says it’s all gonna go And they make that old engine show [Chorus] Pedal to the metal, let it run clean Shiftstick working through all five gears neat Lean in hard, Soft and sooth on the beam We’re rolling to the finishline, machine to machine Pedal to the metal, hear that steady sound Volvo in the spot, but we’re never staying down [Verse 2] Under the back end, by the cracked concrete They line up the exhaust like a drumbeat Lean in hard takes the wrench, holds tight Soft and sooth checks the fit just right One turns left, one taps the seam Old car breathing like it’s been set free Click by click, they get it to sing And the shiftstick hits every gear like a clean ring [Pre-Chorus] I hear it in the way they move Lean in hard with a straight shot groove Soft and sooth keep the timing low Till that engine learns to go [Chorus] Pedal to the metal, let it run clean Shiftstick working through all five gears neat Lean in hard, Soft and sooth on the beam We’re rolling to the finishline, machine to machine Pedal to the metal, hear that steady sound Volvo in the spot, but we’re never staying down [Bridge] (Oh) Lean in hard, Soft and sooth (Yeah) One brings grit, one brings smooth Exhaust pipe fixed, no shake, no rattle Five gears in play, and we’re out of the lot, now And when the lane opens up ahead They don’t drag, they don’t second-guess Pedal down, and the whole thing flies That finishline comes up fast in the headlights [Chorus] Pedal to the metal, let it run clean Shiftstick working through all five gears neat Lean in hard, Soft and sooth on the beam We’re rolling to the finishline, machine to machine Pedal to the metal, hear that steady sound Volvo in the spot, but we’re never staying down [Outro] Lean in hard Soft and sooth Five gears strong We made it through Pedal down No looking back Finishline ahead And the Volvo tracks
