Description
Warning: If you want melody, structure and (dare I say) maturity, try "Turn to Me". I debated posting due to the primitive cheese factor. But I wanted to share the moment ~ and the era ~ that rushed-in when first plugged-in the 1964 Teisco I just rehabbed after 20-plus years in mothballs. (Click to MJ forum w/photo gallery.)
This song is dedicated to rock 'n' roll and fast cars with tall 3rd gears. It's also a companion to my prior roadfaring retro-fest, "Yo! What Exit?"
On the structure, or lack of it: It's all over the map (ouch). I had no more than the title/chorus in mind when the glue dried, the strings went on and I plugged-into my old Fender tuber. The overdriven, spring reverb-drenched center track, was the first track I did. Unedited, it forms the only structure here. NOTE: The first fraction of a second -- the word "Uno!" -- is cut off. if it bugs you, pop me your e-mail and I'll send you the fixed track in any format.

Lyrics
1… 1-2-3-5 Overdrive… let's go!
1… 1-2-3-5 Overdrive…
¡Quita te!
¡Vamanos, hija, vamanos rapidamente!
1… 1-2-3-5 Overdrive… rev it up
1… 1-2-3-5 Overdrive...
Gotta get away, gotta get away, gotta get away
From here
Tear up the road, tach in the red, Let out the clutch
Who needs fourth gear?
Bye-bye
1… 1-2-3-5 Overdrive…
¡Quita te!
¡Vamanos, hija, vamanos rapidamente!
1… 1-2-3-5 Overdrive… rev it up
1… 1-2-3-5 Overdrive...
Gotta get away, gotta get away, gotta get away
From here
Tear up the road, tach in the red, Let out the clutch
Who needs fourth gear?
Bye-bye
