Seek him here, seek him on the highway

Never knowing when he'll appear

All await, engine's ticking over

Hear the roar as they sense the fear



Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!

Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!



Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Hell bent, hell bent for leather



Black as night, faster than a shadowCrimson flare from a raging sun

An exhibition, of sheer precision

Yet no one knows from where he comes



Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown

Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground



Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Hell bent, hell bent for leather



There's many who tried to prove that they're faster

But they didn't last and they died as they tried



There's many who tried to prove that they're faster

But they didn't last and they died as they tried



Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
