Lead Footed Mama - Written by Michelle Ward and Glenn Woodhouse © 2010
The backstory: "LFM" is inspired by Michelle's highly modified 1996 Subaru wagon and avante gard driving style. In the song, her Subaru has been replaced with a classic big block convertible Cadillac to protect its anonymity. Being big into racing for pink slips, Michelle likes to fly below the radar of the local gendarme. The drag race between her and Mustang Sally really happened years ago down in Clarkston just prior to Sally's flat feet being "put back on the ground" by the sheriff at the time, Wilson Pickett. Michelle will not divulge the nature of the work she did under the hood to give that horizontally opposed four cylinder Japanese motor that big classic V8 growl that you hear at the beginning of the song.
Michelle conceived the theme, music, and catchy intro/outro of this tune and Glenn used his honorary degree in "Motorheadedness" and his life long study of fast chicks to help with the lyrics.

Lead Footed Mama - Lyrics
Lead footed mama, cruise on down the road
Lead footed mama, cruise on down the road
In your drop top Caddy, that's one fine boat
Fast fast mama, draggin' in the valley
Fast fast mama, draggin' in the valley
Saw your Caddy burnin' rubber, racing Mustang Sally
You got 500 cubes ~ TRANSLATION ~ You have a 500 cubic inch engine
Three on the tree with a three speed automatic transmission with shifter on the steering column
Chrome Hooker Headers you have replaced the stock exhaust manifolds with chrome aftermarket ones from Hooker Co.
And a Hydramatic tranny your vehicle employs a GM fluid coupled transmission, successor of the friction clutched tranny
Fast fast mama, draggin' in the valley
Saw your Caddy burnin', racing Mustang Sally
Bad, bad mama, out there in the dark
Bad, bad mama, out there in the dark
When it comes to back seat driving, you're the fastest in the park
You got 4:11 gears ~ TRANSLATION ~ You have replaced the gearing of your rear differential to improve your launch off the line
Big super charger It's big and super!
You beat me off the line I should have got me some of them 4:11 gears!
And the gap is growing larger I'm eatin' your dust Lead Footed Mama..........
Baaaad mama, out there in the dark
When it comes to back seat driving, you're the fastest in the park
Red hot mama, blast on down the street
Red hot mama blast on down the street
Like an oven out here, cause your addin' to the heat
Lead footed mama, cruise on Friday night
Lead footed mama, cruise on Friday night
Well the boys can never catch you, cause you's outta sight
Lead footed mama, cruise on down the road
Lead footed mama, cruise on down the road
In your drop top Caddy, that's one fine boat
Fast fast mama, draggin' in the valley
Fast fast mama, draggin' in the valley
Saw your Caddy burnin' rubber, racing Mustang Sally
You got 500 cubes ~ TRANSLATION ~ You have a 500 cubic inch engine
Three on the tree with a three speed automatic transmission with shifter on the steering column
Chrome Hooker Headers you have replaced the stock exhaust manifolds with chrome aftermarket ones from Hooker Co.
And a Hydramatic tranny your vehicle employs a GM fluid coupled transmission, successor of the friction clutched tranny
Fast fast mama, draggin' in the valley
Saw your Caddy burnin', racing Mustang Sally
Bad, bad mama, out there in the dark
Bad, bad mama, out there in the dark
When it comes to back seat driving, you're the fastest in the park
You got 4:11 gears ~ TRANSLATION ~ You have replaced the gearing of your rear differential to improve your launch off the line
Big super charger It's big and super!
You beat me off the line I should have got me some of them 4:11 gears!
And the gap is growing larger I'm eatin' your dust Lead Footed Mama..........
Baaaad mama, out there in the dark
When it comes to back seat driving, you're the fastest in the park
Red hot mama, blast on down the street
Red hot mama blast on down the street
Like an oven out here, cause your addin' to the heat
Lead footed mama, cruise on Friday night
Lead footed mama, cruise on Friday night
Well the boys can never catch you, cause you's outta sight
