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

Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run

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

Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run

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

I'm a hummingbird
I'm a teacher at school
Runnin' on nitro and methane fuel

Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run

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

Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run

Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run, yeah
Run, run, run
