Stock Car

At Bridge City Speedway
Fans sat in the stands.
Watching the old stockcars
Before the next race began.

The next thing I knew I was in the pit
I was ready
I waited at the line for the green flag
Adrenaline rushed through my body.
Was this real?

The green flag snaps
off we went
I'm driving with 47 others cars
I make sure that I don't get hit.

There's a yellow flag
Someone got hit
We slow to a crawl
While the track gets clean

And then the white
It's safe to go.
The 37th lap only 3 more to go
I drive passing the entire field

Two laps to go
I pulled up ahead
The checkered flag is mine
What a rush
