D
And you're rushing headlong
You've got a new goal
And you're rushing headlong
Out of control
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping
And there's nothing you can do about it
Nothing you can do, no
There's nothing you can do about it
No, there's nothing you can, nothing you can
Nothing you can do about it

Chorus:
                   G/D  D
And you're rushing headlong you've got a new goal
                   G/D  D
And you're rushing headlong out of control
                      G    D
And you think you're so strong

But there ain't no stopping no
         C                       G
there's nothin' you can do about it

D
Hey, he used to be a man with a stick in his hand
 C                  G/B
Hoop diddy diddy - Hoop diddy do
    D
She used to be a woman with a hot dog stand
 C                  G/B         A
Hoop diddy diddy - Hoop diddy do

Now you've got soup in the laundry bag
 A                                   D/A
Now you've got strings, you're gonna lose your rag
You're gettin' in a fight
         G                         F#
Then it ain't so groovy when you're screaming in the night
        A                     G   F D
Let me out of this cheap `B' movie

Chorus:
Headlong, down the highway
And you're rushing headlong
Out of control
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping
And you can't stop rocking
And there's nothing you can, nothing you can
Nothing you can do about it

When a red hot man
Meets a white hot lady
(Hoop diddy diddy, hoop diddy do)
Soon the fire starts raging
Gets you more than half crazy
(Hoop diddy diddy, hoop diddy do)
Ooh, now they start freaking
Everywhere you turn
You can't start walking
Cause your feet got burned
It ain't no time to figure wrong from right
Because reason's out of the window
Better hold on tight

Chorus:
You're rushing headlong
Headlong
Out of control (yeah!)
And you think you're so strong
There ain't no stopping
And there's nothing you, nothing you
Nothing you can do about it at all
[Guitar solo]
Yeah, yeah
Alright, go!

And you're rushing headlong
Down the highway
And you're rushing headlong
Out of control
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping
There's nothing, nothing
Nothing you can do about it, yeah

Ha ha
Headlong
Yeah, yeah, yeah (rushing)
Headlong
Headlong
Headlong
Gnoldaeh, gnoldaeh, gnoldaeh, gnoldaeh
