Streak of lightning coming down the highway
turn around and watch it go
switch on the lights
put on the highbeams
better find a preacher on the radio

I like to drive at 105
its just how fast i got to go
i got the gears and i got the motor
aint no reason to go slower
and i like the speed i like the motion
i like the rockin machine
i like to drive at 105
better hurry up if you wanna catch me

neon sign flashin by like something in your eye
Elvis on the radio almost makes you cry
falshing lights in the rearview you know
payin many mile step on the gas pull out to pass and leave em far be hind

I like to drive at 105
its just how fast i got to go

Fred is the man. This guy writes excellent edgy songs in a genre I don't frequent very often. He was around here (Southern Ontario) for years without a label nibble, went to Nashville and was signed up in no time, so the story goes. Fred's the real deal. AND you've reminded me that he's playing around the corner tonight. Thanks once again RP. Slam in Toronto
 
I agree Slam. Fred is the best

This guy's voice makes me feel pseudo-homicidal. Absolutely terrible.

Bill, you have outdone yourself. Fred! I am delighted and in awe. Please, please, please, keep up the great work. This has motivated me to get off my lazy butt and send you in another cheque - I'm overdue!

Fred, who lives not far from me here in eastern Ontario, played his best stuff early in his career. My brother-in-law Max also believed this, and told Fred so in a letter. Fred wrote a long missive back to Max telling him to go straight to hell and using more four-letter words than Max thought possible. So Fred has edge--personal as well as professional--it seems. I wonder if the letter has value. Are you listening EBay?
LOL - a letter is written criticizing a person, and you're surprised by the response? Fred is an excellent songwriter, and this is a very good album. I was lucky enough to see him in a small, grimy venue in my town better known for local hard core acts. He was the opening act for a popular regional act called "Split Lip Rayfield". Fred and his band gave a great show, even though there were only a handful of people in the audience, and of those only maybe 3 or 4 who were familiar with Fred. He gave a heartfelt show in spite of the conditions. The band was friendly, and freely talked to me before the show. I'd see him again in a heartbeat if he comes back through.
