my [E]dad built a racecar with [A]his own [E]hands
he [E]raced the figure 8 against [A]many reckless [E]men
driving [A]deadly, driving [E]metal
driving [A]wicked, driving [E]fast
always [A]towards that inter[E]section
just [A]praying they won't [E]crash
once when [B]sitting on his lap I [A]asked
"how do you not col[E]lide?[A][E][A]
when you're [B]flying so fast to that [A]crossroads
how do you dec[E]ide?[A][E][A]
who's [F#]gonna slow down, who's [A]gonna give in
maybe e[E]nough to let the [F#]other guy [A]win?
[F#]who's gonna take their [A]foot off the gas
maybe e[E]nough to let the [F#]other guy [A]pass?"
he said "[E]son here's some advice
you gotta [A]promise that you'll never [E]take
the [E]trick to it is my boy
is that you [F#]never [A]never hit the [E]brake"
he said "[E]son don't grow up to be a racecar [A]driver"
he said "[E]son don't grow up to be anything like your [A]father"
he said "[E]look at my car it's been ripped in half
and I'm [A]lucky to be alive
and when you [E]turn sixteen
I will teach you how to [A]drive"[E]
