Around the Bend

Blast of a whistle, put this metal in motion
Chants of my name, pumping my adrenaline
Headlights on the future, won't get in my way
At the speed of light, call me Superman and that prize my kryptonite

There's a reason reputation drives people deranged
Coupled with that pride of being the number one man
Fighting like a soldier with an endless will to win
All will be decided, at the magic line
Around the bend

Dis' ole engine is raring, like a creature in the night
Folks have no idea, time you slid behind the wheel, you fit his appetite
Lead at the checkpoint, a calculated crime
Diesel made me do it, he's to blame, you'd say, a criminal minds' all time alibi

There's a reason reputation drives people deranged
Coupled with that pride of being the number one man
Fighting like a soldier with an endless will to win
All will be decided, at the magic line
Around the bend

The sense of urgency, is the nature of the beast
And it tells, it tells, it tells and tells of the weakest link

Reached the final mile, should you be surprised?
As a parting gift I left tire shreds, rubber hopes of failing behind
A stellar performance, by a fearless contender
Put on cruise control, and a kodak ready, ridin' steady, v'ctry smile

There's a reason reputation drives people deranged
Coupled with that pride of being that number one man
Fighting like a soldier with an endless will to win
All will be decided, at the magic line
Around the bend

Now I need y'all to help me say this

Don't give up
Don't give in
Ya just around

To close now
To even thinkin' 'bout givin' up
Ya just around

Ya just around
Everybody say

To close
To give up'
