Well Jimmy Lee was hookin' 'round the far turn of a funky southern Florida dirt track
A
He had mud caked on his goggles and a screamin' 350 stacked up on his back
D
Well as he passed the stands he was feelin' all tuckered out
G7
When through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout
DA7D
"Stand on it, come on boy, stand on it"
[Verse 2]
D
Mary Beth started to drift, she hit the shift but she just couldn't get a hand on it
A
Racin' some Red Hill boys, she had the deed to the ranch and a grand on it
D
With eight grand blowin' hot on the red line
G7
She blew past a hitchhiker out on Route 39
DA7D
He hollered "Stand on it, go 'head baby, stand on it"
[Chorus]
D
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
A
Well buddy, stand on it
D
Well if you've lost control of the situation at hand
G7
Go grab a girl, go see a rock and roll band
DA7
And stand on it
D
Come on man, stand on it

D
Well now Columbus he discovered America even though he hadn't planned on it
A
He got lost and woke up one morning when he's about to land on it
D
He wouldn't of got out of Italy, man that's for sure
G7
Without Queen Isabella standing on the shore
DA7D
Shouting "Stand on it, go ahead man, stand on it"
[Chorus]
D
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
A
Well buddy, stand on it
D
Well if you've lost control of the situation at hand
G7
Go grab a girl, go see a rock and roll band
D
And stand on it
A7D
Come on man, stand on it
[Verse 4]
D
Bobby was leadin' the pack, he settled back and he got ready for the long haul
A
Well fifty yards from the finish line somebody roared up and they blew him into the wall
D
Well he rolled over twice, lucky to survive
G7
Layin' in the back of the ambulance more dead than alive
DA7
Somebody shouted "Man, you call that drivin'?
D
Why didn't you stand on it?"
