The great American race

V1

The day we’re born      we start our engines      pull out on the track

Hit the gas         try to out run the others      never looking back

Live today      like there’s no tomorrow         that’s how the race is run

No time for Jesus   we’ll make things right    sometime before were done

Chorus

It’s the great American race      no room for second place

Every day a new turn      we try to make a record pace

It’s the great American race      no room for second place

Speeding through our lives    losing sight of the real race

It’s the great American race      no room for second place

V2

Do unto our neighbors        before         they do unto us

Slam ‘em   bump ‘em      spin them out      make ‘em eat our dust

The only real winners     are made     before the race is run

The only trophy        we really need      is eternity with the Son

Repeat Chorus

V3

Sooner or later      all that speeding       your motor will let go

Lost in a cloud       of fire and smoke      with nothing to show

To make the racers     golden elite        sacred hall of fame

Better shift gears    change lanes to Christ   uphold his Holy name

Repeat Chorus
