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 fearWheels! 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 leatherBlack as night, faster than a shadow
Crimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comesFools! Self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! Crash one by one to the groundHell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leatherThere's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they triedThere's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they triedHell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
