!i! He's Going The Distance !i!

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 maneuver 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 stearn.

As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
The fans get up and they get out of town.

The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.

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.
