The Neo-Gnostics - The Ballad of Pedro Rodriguez (feat. Sandy McKee)

This is no self righteous account
Babbling nonsense how to find out
This is the story of a Mexican boy
Became a legend with the team Ferrari
Yeah
Pedro Rodriguez baby that's his name
Drives like a madman all insane
Baja 500 to LeMans he rose
He never used the brakes
Because they made him go slow

If you want to listen and you start to cry
A sadder story may never go by
Soon he came close to the championship
Decided to see how fast he could trip
Some say tequila some say his eyes
Really a woman made him go blind

Pedro loved cars the first time he drove
The first time he drove at seven years old
At twelve he was beating sport cars in trucks
Left for the city his friends wished him luck
Starved but he drove and he learned even more
Next thing a sponser oped the door
Soon even teams in Europe had heard
The fast man called Pedro how he could burn
Ferrari signed him to do his own thing
He stated winning LeMans and Sebring
When he pulls up you'd best let him by
Don't try to hold him it's pure suicide
No man alive could block the road
Pedro Rodriguez heading for home
His woman she left him before the race
Told him to quit and try something safe
Doin' two sixty down the long straight
He didn't slow down and now it's too late

Pedro Rodriguez baby that's his name
He drives like a madman all insane
Baja 500 to LeMans he rose
His brakes were a joke and they made him go slow
They made him go slow slow slow slow
They made him go slow slow slow slow slow
Slow oh no no brakes oh no
No no no no
