Don Felder - Heavy Metal (Takin' A Ride)

Drive it on up and let's cruise a while
Leave your troubles far behind
You can hedge your bet on a clean Corvette
To get you there right on time
Now if you're ready to dive into overdrive
Baby, the green lights are on
It's like you're running your brain on some high octane
Every time she reaches fully blown

Won't you take that ride on heavy metal?
It's the only way that you can travel down that road
Satisfied on heavy metal
Baby won't you ride, ride it until it explodes

Heavy metal

My oh my, how this lady can fly
Once she starts rollin' beneath you
You know you just can't lose, the way she moves
You wait for her to finally release you
It's not a big surprise to feel your temperature rise
You've got a touch of redline fever
'Cause there is just one cure that we know for sure
You just become a heavy metal believer

Won't you take that ride on heavy metal?
It's the only way that you can travel down that road
Satisfied on heavy metal
Baby won't you ride, ride it until it explodes

Heavy metal
Heavy metal
Heavy metal...

This song back in 1983 convinced me to save up 7K from a $4 an hour job for 3 years to buy a clean 1964 Corvette. It’s been 33 years and I still own the car!!

My name is Butch Weatherly and I am genuinely happy to be listening to this song very, very loud on Thursday, February 22nd 2024. Quality Music and solid editing puts a smile on my Face and Soul. I sincerely wish nothing but Peace, Happiness, and Prosperity to all who read this. Take Care and I genuinely Love you all! Respectfully, Butch Weatherly

PS. I really want a Trans Am right now.

There will always be something special about an open road, a great jam, and a hot car.

[johncase]

The perfect song to listen to when you are cheesing.

This song was in the animated feature "Heavy Metal." If you've never seen it, it's a must see. It's a great example of what animation could be if American animators pulled their heads out of their asses and gave animation the respect it deserves.

Always loved that song, The guitar sound is smokin from start to finish!!!!🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸 All time classic Don Felder.

[b.g.]

Sally Field giving the highway patrol the finger is gold. She was a bombshell

[ZeeboLaywicker]

there will never be anyting more badass than 60s and early 70s muscle cars!

[romotx]

I had a 78 Trans Am in 1979 and it was the best time of my life!

[contrafax]

This song, one of many that kept me alive. Being suicidal SUCKS! Just keep hanging in there. MORE MUSIC.

[brianmcgovern]

That's a smile for sure. Brings back my generation of Heavy Metal. Thanks.

[maggierezac]

Nailed it! Thank you for the fun trip down Memory Lane! Ahh the days of Steve McQueen & ... fast cars & Heavy Metal! Excellent! Rock on!

[Brugar]

40-50 year old cars still more badass than boxes on wheels that we have these days

[rkernell]

All of these years and the goose bumps still appear!

My brother had a late 70s silver f150 with a souped up 8 track in it. Loud it was, for it's time. This was before kids wore seat belts. I would sit in the windshield wanting it louder. This is the first song that made me addicted to them speakers man. I would sit there thinking one day I'm gonna drive fast to this song. Mission accomplished and mastered. ❤

[gangtwanger]

Ok, .. NOW we're I grew up on "Heavy Metal"... I have the movie as well as the original double LP... That soundtrack is so-underrated.

[ZoSo]

Love the compilation of great classic car movies, and of course one of my favorite South Park episodes

[christiaancarstens]

Of all American cars if I had to choose one it would be a black pontiac firebird transam, just something about those cars.
