about

This song is about a soapbox car race, in the great descent of Barlet's Hill

lyrics

The Race

It’s 6 in the morning
And Im ready for the good time
Blue sky sun is shining
People going to the starting line

I close my eyes
And see the road
Feel the wind
And pray for god
Its a long race
My car is special
Daddy say
It could be hard
But it’s okay
Hay on the way down
One hour I’ll be gone

You got to turn boy
Right or left
Got to feel the joy
And celebrate
That’s your day boy
Overtake
And win the prize
Your mother will be proud

Brakes failed then I crashed my car
See the Wheels keep on turning
Feel dizzy hurts so badly
Got to improve my driving

So I close my eyes
And see the road
Feel the wind
And Pray for god
It was a short race
Car was special
Daddy said
Could have been harder
But its okay
Hay on the way down
Next time be better son
