Lyrics

DRIVER NOT THE CAR

Startin' out side by side
Inchin' up towards the line
Engines rev and engines whine
Fuel and air combine

Pit crews and the teams
As tight as trampolines
A sea of frenzied fans
Swarming in the stands
They come from near and far
And they know who you are
'Cause it's the Driver not the Car
Who's the real Superstar

The race gets underway
Battle through the fray
Blend line and the groove
Is the exit loose?

Slingshot through the turn
Sticky tires hiss and burn
You're two laps low on fuel
And locked in one last duel
If you take the checkered flag
You earn the right to brag
'Cause it's the Driver not the Car
Who's the real Superstar

"Ah, reach up and pull 'em tight one
more time"

Whether all bunched up or running out
of track, drop the hammer down and
don't look back.

Running tight down the straight
Bumpin', rubbin', tradin' paint
Nobody heeeere's hitting the brakes
Avoid the dirty air, whatever it takes

The Owner pays the bills
The Sponsors bring the bling
The Crowd gets the thrills
As the Drivers do their thing
It's you they come to see
A true Celebrity
'Cause it's the Driver not the Car
Who's the real Superstar

Each and every race
Leave it all behind the wheel
Guts, determination
Ravaged nerves of steel

If things get out of hand
There's bound to be trouble
After the race
There's gonna be a rumble
No place you'd rather be
Than in a fight for victory
'Cause it's the Driver not the Car
Who's the real Superstar

If you ain't afraid to bleed
You'll end up in the lead
'Cause it's the Driver not the Car
Who's the real Superstar
