Verse 1
E 
Reluctantly crouched at
the starting line.
D 
E 
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes,
Em 
the flags go up.
E 
Churning and burning,
they yearn for the cup.
They deftly maneuver
and muscle for rank.
Em 
E 
Fuel burning fast on an
Em 
empty tank.
E 
Reckless and wild,
Em 
E 
Em 
they pour through the turns.
E 
Their prowess is potent
Em 
E 
and secretly stern.
Em 
E 
Em 
As  they speed through the finish,
E 
the flags go down.
Bm 
The fans get up
E 
and  they get out of town.
Bm 
E 
Em 
The arena is empty,
E 
except for one man
Bm 
Still driving and striving
E 
as fast as he can
Bm 
E 
Em 
The sun has gone down
E 
and the moon has come up
Bm 
E 
And long ago somebody left with the cup
Em 
But he's driving and striving
E 
and hugging the turns
Bm 
E 
And thinking of someone
Bm

E 
for whom he still burns
G 
E 
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
He's all alone
Em 
E 
In a time of need
Em 
Cause he's racing and pacing
E 
and plotting the course
Bm 
He's fighting and fighting
E 
and riding on his horse
Bm 
Em 
E 
Bm 
E 
He's going the distance
Em 
E 
No trophy, no flowers,
Em 
no flashbulb,  no line
G 
E 
He's haunted by something
he cannot define
Em 
Fowl -shaking earthquakes
of doubt and remorse
G 
E 
As sail him, impale him
Em 
E 
with monster -trucks force
Em 
G 
Em 
In his mind he's still thriving,
still making
E 
Bm 
She's hoping in time
E 
that her memories will fade
Em 
Bm 
Em 
G 
Cause he's racing and pa cing
Em 
E 
and plotting the course

He's fighting and biting
E 
and riding on his horse
Em

The sun has gone down
E 
and the moon has come up
Bm 
Em 
And long ago somebody left with the cup

and hugging the turns

And thinking of someone

for whom he still burns

in her time of need

Because he's racing and pacing
E 
and flying the course
Bm 
He's riding and biting
E 
and riding on his horse
Bm 
Em 
He's racing and pacing
E 
and flying the course
Bm 
He's riding and biting
E 
Em 
Bm 
and riding on his horse

Bm 
He's going the distance
E

He's going the distance
