[00:00.455] Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
[00:03.508] Engines pumping and thumping in time
[00:06.105] The green light flashes, the flags go up
[00:08.882] Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
[00:11.363] They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
[00:14.134] Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
[00:16.756] Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
[00:19.419] Their prowess is potent and secretly stern
[00:22.041] As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
[00:24.553] The fans get up and they get out of town
[00:27.295] The arena is empty except for one man
[00:29.861] Still driving and striving as fast as he can
[00:32.468] The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
[00:35.292] And long ago somebody left with the cup
[00:37.694] But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
[00:40.383] And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
[00:45.107] He's going the distance, he's going for speed
[00:50.104] She's all alone, all alone in her time of need
[00:55.408] Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
[00:58.712] He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
[01:01.983] He's going the distance
[01:17.358] No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine
[01:19.643] He's haunted by something he cannot define
[01:22.509] Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
[01:25.122] Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force
[01:27.706] In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade
[01:30.201] She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
[01:32.820] 'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
[01:35.604] He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
[01:38.249] The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
[01:40.899] And long ago somebody left with the cup
[01:43.360] But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
[01:46.003] And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
[01:50.628] 'Cause he's going the distance, he's going for speed
[01:55.811] She's all alone, all alone in her time of need
[02:01.410] Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
[02:04.471] He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
[02:07.107] He's racing and pacing and plotting the course
[02:09.793] He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
[02:13.058] He's going the distance, he's going for speed
[02:18.253] He's going the distance
