The Distance LRC歌词

[00:00.000] 作词 : Greg Brown

[00:00.227] 作曲 : Greg Brown

[00:00.455]Reluctantly crouched at the starting line

[00:03.508]Engines pumping and thumping in time

[00:06.105]The green light flashes, the flags go up

[00:08.882]Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup

[00:11.363]They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank

[00:14.134]Fuel burning fast on an empty tank

[00:16.756]Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns

[00:19.419]Their prowess is potent and secretly stern

[00:22.041]As they speed through the finish, the flags go down

[00:24.553]The fans get up and they get out of town

[00:27.295]The arena is empty except for one man

[00:29.861]Still driving and striving as fast as he can

[00:32.468]The sun has gone down and the moon has come up

[00:35.292]And long ago somebody left with the cup

[00:37.694]But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns

[00:40.383]And thinking of someone for whom he still burns

[00:45.107]He's going the distance, he's going for speed

[00:50.104]She's all alone, all alone in her time of need

[00:55.408]Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course

[00:58.712]He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse

[01:01.983]He's going the distance

[01:17.358]No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine

[01:19.643]He's haunted by something he cannot define

[01:22.509]Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse

[01:25.122]Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force

[01:27.706]In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade

[01:30.201]She's hoping in time that her memories will fade

[01:32.820]'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course

[01:35.604]He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse

[01:38.249]The sun has gone down and the moon has come up

[01:40.899]And long ago somebody left with the cup

[01:43.360]But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns

[01:46.003]And thinking of someone for whom he still burns

[01:50.628]'Cause he's going the distance, he's going for speed

[01:55.811]She's all alone, all alone in her time of need

[02:01.410]Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course

[02:04.471]He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse

[02:07.107]He's racing and pacing and plotting the course

[02:09.793]He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse

[02:13.058]He's going the distance, he's going for speed

[02:18.253]He's going the distance
