lyrics

When we won the Indy 500
We had to break onto the track
I had to take my bolt cutters from out of the back
I was Gaston Chevrolet in a Frontenac

And you kept asking me to go faster
Said they could take us on the inside
Said you never were brilliant at being alive
never did learn how to drive

When we won the Indy 500
our oldsmobile engine blew smoke
I said you were Ascari, you said I was a joke
we went round and around with a lump in our throats

And you kept asking me to do handbrakes
and you kept saying how handsome I looked
and you said that we were like a couple of crooks
then I screeched round the corner and the whole world shook

When we won the Indy 500
weeks from decoration day
you wondered what we could buy with the money we’d make
the two fastest people in Speedway

And you dared me to drive with my eyes closed
I said I will if you do it too
And if you take the wheel I’ll tell you what to do
and then I took my hands off and I let you

And then we won the Indy 500
