  • Verse 1
    Reluctantly 
    crouched 
    at 
    the 
    starting 
    line 

    Engines 
    pumping 
    and 
    thumping 
    in 
    time 

    The 
    green 
    light 
    flashes, 
    the 
    flags 
    go 
    up 

    Churning 
    and 
    burning, 
    they 
    yearn 
    for 
    the 
    cup 

    They 
    deftly 
    ma
    neuver 
    and 
    muscle 
    for 
    rank 

    Fuel 
    burning 
    fast 
    on 
    an 
    empty 
    tank 

    Reckless 
    and 
    wild, 
    they 
    pour 
    through the turns 

    Their 
    prowess 
    is 
    potent 
    and 
    secretly 
    stern 

    Verse 2
    As 
    they 
    speed 
    through the finish,  

    the 
    flags 
    go 
    down 

    The 
    fans 
    get 
    up 
    and 
    they 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    town 

    The 
    a
    rena 
    is 
    empty 
    except 
    for 
    one 
    man 

    Still 
    driving 
    and 
    striving 
    as 
    fast 
    as 
    he 
    can 

    The 
    sun 
    has 
    gone 
    down 

    and 
    the 
    moon has 
    come 
    up 

    And 
    long 
    ago 
    somebody 
    left 
    with 
    the 
    cup 

    But 
    he's 
    driving 
    and 
    striving 

    and 
    hugging 
    the 
    turns 

    And 
    thinking 
    of 
    someone 

    for 
    whom 
    he 
    still 
    burns 

    Chorus 1
    He's 
    going 
    the 
    distance 

    He's 
    going 
    for 
    speed 

    She's 
    all 
    a
    lone 

    All 
    alone 
    in 
    her 
    time 
    of 
    need 

    Because he's 
    racing 
    and 
    pacing 

    and 
    plotting 
    the 
    course 

    He's 
    fighting 
    and 
    biting 
    and 
    riding 
    on 
    his 
    horse 

    Interlude 1
    He's 
    going 
    the distance 


    Verse 3
    No 
    trophy, 
    no 
    flowers, 
    no 
    flashbulbs, 
    no 
    wine 

    He's 
    haunted 
    by 
    something 
    he 
    cannot 
    define 

    Bowel-shaking 
    earthquakes 

    of 
    doubt 
    and 
    remorse 

    As
    sail 
    him, 
    im
    pale 
    him 

    with 
    monster-truck 
    force 

    In 
    his 
    mind, 
    he's 
    still 
    driving, 

    still 
    making 
    the 
    grade 

    She's 
    hoping 
    in 
    time 

    that 
    her 
    memories 
    will 
    fade 

    'Cause he's  
    racing 
    and 
    pacing 

    and 
    plotting 
    the 
    course 

    He's 
    fighting 
    and 
    biting 
    and 
    riding 
    on 
    his 
    horse 

    The 
    sun 
    has 
    gone 
    down 

    and 
    the 
    moon has 
    come 
    up 

    And 
    long 
    ago 
    somebody 
    left 
    with 
    the 
    cup 

    But 
    he's 
    striving 
    and 
    driving 

    and 
    hugging 
    the 
    turns 

    And 
    thinking 
    of 
    someone 

    for 
    whom 
    he 
    still 
    burns 

    Chorus 2
    'Cause 
    he's 
    going 
    the 
    distance 

    He's 
    going 
    for 
    speed 

    She's 
    all 
    a
    lone 

    All 
    alone 
    in 
    her 
    time 
    of 
    need 

    Because 
    he's 
    racing 
    and 
    pacing 

    and 
    plotting 
    the 
    course 

    He's 
    fighting 
    and 
    biting 
    and 
    riding 
    on 
    his 
    horse 

    He's 
    racing 
    and 
    pacing 
    and 
    plotting 
    the 
    course 

    He's 
    fighting 
    and 
    biting 
    and 
    riding 
    on 
    his 
    horse 

    He's 
    going 
    the 
    distance 

    He's 
    going 
    for 
    speed 

    He's 
    going 
    the 
    distance

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
