I've been held back way too long, sung in the same old songs
This last speed's too low for me, I'm changing to a higher gear

Some guys like to live real quiet, rather get them tired
Try to live my best for you babe, but it seems like it's your [flame]

Ain't gonna wait, nothing can stop me now, we're back in the race, ow

Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop (now) - don't stop me now
Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop me now

You're so fast and free your town, tried to settle down
Listen girl, that's just fine, but forty years from now

[Don't roll the dice], I need some rock 'n roll
Been rolling the dice - look out

Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop (now) - don't stop me now
Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop me now
Pedal to the metal - pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal - pedal to the metal

(Solo)

Yeah! Uh!

Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, pedal to the metal - ohh
Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead - yeah - pedal to the metal - c'mon

Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop now
Pedal to the metal - to the metal - full speed ahead
Don't stop (now) - don't stop me now
Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop - don't stop - me now
