After two thousand came two thousand and one

 To be the new champions we were there for to run

 From springtime in Arizona ‘til the fall in Monterey

 And the raceways were the battlefields and we fought’em all the way

 Was at Phoenix in the morning I had a wake-up call

 She went around without a warning put me in the wall

 I drove long beach California with three cracked vertebrae

 And we went on to Indianapolis, Indiana in the May

 Well the brickyard’s there to crucify anyone who will not learn

 I climbed a mountain to qualify I went flat through the turns

 But I was down in the might-have beens and an old pal good as died

 And I sat down in gasoline alley and I cried

 Well we were in at the kill again on the Milwaukee Mile

 And in June up in Michigan we were robbed at Bell Isle

 Then it was on to Portland, Oregon for the G.I. Joe

 And I‘d blown off almost everyone when my motor let go

 New England, Ontario we died in the dirt

 Those walls from mid Ohio to Toronto they hurt

 So we came to road america where we burned up at the lake

 But at the speedway at Nazareth I made no mistake
