"Stand On It (Somewhere North Of Nashville)" lyrics - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

Well, Jimmy Lee was hookin' 'round the far turn
Of a funky southern Florida dirt track
He had mud caked on his goggles
And a screamin' 350 stacked up on his back
Well, as he passed the stands, he was feelin' all tuckered out
When through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout
"Stand on it, come on boy, stand on it"

Mary Beth started to drift, she hit the shift
But she just couldn't get a hand on it
Racing some Red Hill boys
She had the deed to the ranch and a grand on it
With eight grand blowin' hot on the red line
She blew past a hitchhiker out on Route 39
He hollered, "Stand on it, go ahead, baby, stand on it"

[Chorus:]
Well, when in doubt
And you can't figure it out
Just stand on it
Well, if your mind's confused
You don't know what you wanna do
Then buddy, stand on it
Well, if you've lost control of the situation at hand
Grab a girl, go see a rock 'n' roll band
And stand on it
Come on, baby, stand on it (Stand on that guitar)

[Pedal Steel Solo]

Well, Columbus, he discovered America
Even though he hadn't planned on it
He got lost, woke up one morning
When he's about to land on it
He wouldn't have got out of Italy, man, that's for sure
Without Queen Isabella standing on the shore
Shouting, "Stand on it, come on, boy, stand on it"

[Chorus:]
Well, when in doubt
And you can't figure it out
Just stand on it
Well, if your mind's confused
You don't know what you gonna do
Then buddy, stand on it
Well, if you've lost control of the situation at hand
Grab a girl, go see a rock 'n' roll band
And stand on it
Come on, man, stand on it
