Going The Distance
Lyricist:Greg Brown
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line Engines pumping and thumping in time The green light flashes, the flags goes up Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank Fuel burning fast on an empty tank Wreckless and wild they pour through the turns Their prowess is podent and secretly stern
As they speed through the finish the flags go down The fans get up, and get out of town The arena 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
He's going the distance He's going for speed She's all alone, 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 going the distance, yeah

In his mind he's still driving, still making the grade She's hoping 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
'Cause he's going the distance He's going for speed She's all alone, 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
