Stand On It - Bruce Springsteen
D
Well, Jimmy Lee was hookin' 'round the far turn
Of a funky Southern Florida dirt track
He had mud caked on his goggles
A
And a screamin' three fifty stacked up on his back
D
Well, as he passed the stands, he feeling all tuckered out
G7
when through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout
D A7 D
Stand on it, come on, boy, stand on it
Mary Beth started to drift, she hit the shift
But she just couldn't get a hand on it
She was racin' some red hill boys
A
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
D A7 D
He hollered, stand on it, come on, boy, stand on it
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 'n roll band
D A7 D
And stand on it, come on man, stand on it
(Guitar solo) | D | D | D | D | D | D | A | A | D | D | G7 | G7 | D | A7 | D | D
Well now, Columbus, he discovered America
Even though he hadn't planned on it
He got lost and woke up one morning
A
When he's about to land on it
D
He wouldn't have got out of Italy, man, that's for sure
G7
Without Queen Isabella standing on the shore shouting
D A7 D
Stand on it, go ahead, man, stand on it
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 'n roll band
D A7 D
And stand on it, come on boy, stand on it
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
D A7
Somebody shouted "Man, you call that drivin'?
D
Why didn't you stand on it"
