Mark Knopfler - Speedway At Nazareth Lyrics
After two thousand came two thousand and oneTo be the new champions, we were there for to runFrom springtime in arizona, til the fall in montereyAnd the raceways were the battlefields and we fought em all the wayWas at phoenix in the morning, I had a wake-up callShe went around without a warning put me in the wallI drove long beach, california with three cracked vertebraeAnd we went on to indianapolis, indiana in mayWell the brickyards there to crucify anyone who will not learnI climbed a mountain to qualify I went flat throught the turnsBut I was down in the might-have-beens and an old pal good as diedAnd I sat down in gasoline alley and I criedWell we were in at the kill again on the milwaukee mileAnd in june up in michigan we were robbed at belle isleThen it was on to portland oregon for the g.i. joeAnd Id blown off almost everyone when I my motor let goNew england, ontario we died in the dirtThose walls from mid-ohio to toronto they hurtSo we came to road america where we burned up at the lakeBut at the speedway at nazareth I made no mistake
