Speedway At Nazareth Lyrics by Mark Knopfler

Speedway At Nazareth Lyrics

    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 may

    Well the brickyard's there to crucify anyone who will not learn
    I climbed a mountain to qualify i went flat throught 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 belle isle
    Then it was on to portland oregon for the g.i. joe
    And i'd blown off almost everyone when i 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
