Out of Shape

In Muscle Cars and Hot Rods...accelerating so powerfully, the back tires lose traction, causing the car to go sideways or even spin around... (out of shape.)

I was in my '66 4-4-2 when this Rice Burner wanted to go for Pinks.

I hit it but went out of shape.

And comin' off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows 'em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears
