Zero to Sixty
Caught up in my life,
dragging my tailpipe
and thinking the damned trans has blown---
and your voice hits my heart
like pure nitro,
kick starts that clunker
and it growls like a Maserati
waiting for the starting flag---
vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooommmmmmm---
and she's off!
Rounding dangerous curves,
pedal to the metal
the scenary a blur---
the crowd jumps to it's feet
but all I see is colors
and I'm racing for my life---
winning would be nice---
but I'll settle for personal best
and pray that I don't spin out,
crash and burn
or lose my lane
trying to catch up to you.
