When I Get My Wheels

When he was seven years old
There was only one thing
That he dreamed about every night
A jet-black frame, red-spoked wheels
The world's best BMX bike
His best friend Ricky
Got one for Chrissy
He'd show it off every day
He's sittin' on the grass goin' nowhere fast
This is what the kid would say

When I get my wheels
I'm gonna ride my bike
You can eat my dust and try to keep up
Man, I'd like to see you try
I'll have my pedal to the metal, my claw to the floor
As I disappear out of sight
When I get my wheels
I won't even wave goodbye

When he turned 18, there was only one thing
That he'd think about all the time
With a scoop on the hood and a thundering roar
When you power shift to overdrive
Up on the hill with a head full of dreams
"That'll be me one day"
When the chequered flag would bring 'em all home
This is what the kid would say

When I get my wheels
I'm gonna drive right by
You can eat my dust and try to keep up
Man, I'd like to see you try
I'll have my pedal to the metal, my claw to the floor
As I disappear out of sight
When I get my wheels
I won't even wave goodbye

Now he's 25, he's got his own car
Number one painted on the side
He may be young and he may be small
But you ought to see him drive
Tearing it up through Conrod straight
Tyres chirpin' every gear
And if you listen close to what the kid's got to say
This is what you're gonna hear

Now I've got my wheels
Watch me drive right by
You can eat my dust and try to keep up
Man, I'd like to see you try
I'll have my pedal to the metal, my claw to the floor
And I'm always out of sight
Now I got my wheels
And I won't even wave goodbye

Now I've got my wheels
I'm gonna drive right by
You can eat my dust and try to keep up
Man, I'd like to see you try
I'll have my pedal to the metal my claw to the floor
And I'm always out sight
Now I got my wheels
And I won't even wave goodbye

Now I got my wheels
And I won't even wave goodbye
Now I got my wheels
And this is me waving goodbye
