The button is pushed and the engine turns on
Jets kick in and the vibrations begin
The lights flash green and the pedal weighs a ton
I take off, amidst the smoke, and fumes once again.
Kicking in the power shift to gear up around the track
Passing another car barely clear of his right
Every attention is given and watching everywhere is a knack
For if you aren’t careful you will meet a certain plight.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, something hits you and you spin
Uncontrolled you hit the wall and your car starts to stall
Fire and smoke come into the drivers den
And in one second flat you are upside down and want to ball
You struggle to unleash yourself to no avail
The e team cuts you out just in time
Your victory jumpsuit is bloodied and looks like hell
But I’m breathing and livin’ and feelin’ just fine
So, on to the next event in about a month or two
Car #2 will be ready to go the distance next race
And, maybe if I’m really lucky and will get my due
I’ll be back blowing off everyone’s doors and claiming first place.
