Chase Rice - Little Red Race Car Lyrics

My birthday at three years old, tearin' paper off the box
I couldn't wait to get that thing on a kitchen counter top
That engine revved inside my head, just a-huggin' every turn
Man, I swear them Hot Wheels had some rubber to burn

My first love was a highway runnin' up to nothin'
Good timin' machine, yeah
My first taste of fallin' fast and wastin' gas
Was everything to me, yeah
The first time I found my heart was in the seat of a little red race car

I took the curve off Bailey Road the day I turned sixteen
Went straight to her the second my old man tossed me the keys
We chased the sun until the stars were the only thing to see
What I was doin' to her
And what she was doin to me

My first love was a highway runnin' up to nothin'
Good timin' machine, yeah
My first taste of fallin' fast and wastin' gas
Was everything to me, yeah
The first time I found my heart was in the seat of a little red race car

There's a two-lane road to a two horse town
Leads up to a two story wrap around
One boy, one girl, one car, one kiss
Gone sideways in the Cullowhee hills
Still to this day I can smell the tread and see a boy turned man in candy-apple red

Oh, my first love was a highway runnin' up to nothin'
Good timin' machine, yeah
My first taste of fallin' fast and wastin' gas
Was everything to me, yeah
The first time I found my heart was in the seat
The first time I found my heart was in a seat
Of a little red race car
That little red race car
