Hes Going The Distance Lyrics

Hes Going The Distance

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 manuver 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 stern.

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.

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.



(chorus)

He's going the
distance,

He's going for speed. 

She's all alone (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. (aaaaawww aaawww)



No trophy, no flowers, no
flashbulbs, no line-

He's haunted by something he can not define.

Bowel shaking earthquakes, of doubt and remorse.

Assail him impale him
with monster truck force.

In his mind he's still driving; still making the
grade.

She's hoping in time that her memory will fade.



Because 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 cip 

But he's
striving and driving and hugging the turns,

And thinking of someone for
whom he still burns.



(chorus)

(aaaawwww
aaaawwwww..............)
