[Verse 1]
Shirley Muldowney, well that's my name
Spinnin' down the road with a fistful of flames
On the mouth of the devil, hands of paradise
Under the cold heart flood of magnesium lights

[Chorus]
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run

[Verse 2]
Girl driving dragsters, little sister of mine
She made my motor roar down a long straight line
I may be soft to the touch but I must confess
I'm hard underneath the speeding success

[Chorus]
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
[Bridge]
I don't believe in luck, I don't believe in fate
I don't believe you pay in this life for your past mistakes
Just miles of sweat, hard labor and skill
And I do what I must and I do what I will

[Verse 3]
I'm a hummingbird
I'm a teacher at school
Runnin' on nitro and methane fuel

[Chorus]
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Shirley Muldowney, well that's my name
Spinnin' down the road with a fistful of flames
I won't be finished, no, I won't be done
'Til I drive up to the gates of the Kingdom Come
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run

[Outro]
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
