lyrics

I went down to the races to see what I could see
I brought a week of earnings and a flask
You went down to the races, well John, what did you see?
An '87 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

I laid my money down and then I had a look around
She turned and spilled her drink all over me
To make it up she took my cup and led me to her pickup truck
When we were done (she'd had her fun)
My car had lost and hers had won
My money gone and she said, "John,
I'll make it up. You'll see."

Will she drive me to drinking? Yes she will!
Will she spend all my money? She just might.
Will she drive me to drinking? Yes she will!
But my girl will drive me home again at the end of the night.

Not a week had passed and I was right back at the track
Put my money on the same car as before
I overheard a writer say it had a different driver
It came in first and my head burst
I filled my glass and then my purse
I ran to shake the driver's hand
And thank him for the score

After the victory lap the driver stopped the car,
Pulled over and then opened up the door
Took that helmet off and I'd never felt such a shock
It was the very girl who spilled my drink the week before

She smiled and said "Hop in, my man
Can you name my car?" I can
An '87 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Will she drive me to drinking? Yes she will!
Will she spend all my money? She just might.
Will she drive me to drinking? Yes she will!
But my girl will drive me home again at the end of the night.
