lyrics

Forgot what I was racing for
I sold the car for parts
And took my remaining winnings and spent them
Down at the liquor store

And everyone’s so surprised
At my trajectory
I took a downward turn somewhere on my
Meteoric rise

And so a lifelong dream becomes just a waste of time

So who was I
To try and defy
The precepts of the powerful and wise
With glass held high
And my spirit running dry
I’ll make one final toast to my demise

They all say I got too old
I lost my edge and gave up
Any sense of ambition or
Achieving lofty goals

So now I just sit at home
I watch the qualifiers
And talk about how racing’s changed
And the game has lost its soul

And I sound just like my old man did years ago

So who was I
To try and defy
The precepts of the powerful and wise
With glass held high
But my spirit running dry
I’ll raise one final toast to my demise
