Harvey Andrews - Wheels

I ^Graised my son the ^EmEighties way ^CI never let him ^Drest a day I said, "^CWasting time can ^Donly lead to ^Glosing ^{C G D} When ^Gyou're a man you'll ^Embe my son And I've ^Cnever lost, I’ve ^Dalways won There are ^Cthose who serve and ^Dthose who do the ^Gchoosing" ^{C G}

And I said, "^EmAlways fight, don't lose face ^CAlways lead, never chase ^ANo one knows the second place So ^Dhurt and bleed, but win the ^Crace" ^D

He was ^Gnumber one in ^Emevery school ^CHe couldn't stand a ^Dwimp or fool Or ^Canyone who ^Ddribble-drooled of ^Gcaring ^{C G D} And he ^Gwon the prizes, he ^Emwon the fame ^CTill everybody ^Dknew his name And they ^Cloved him for his ^Ddevil-may-care ^Gdaring ^{C G F}

And I ^Gliked his taste, I ^Emliked his style And I ^Cknew that in a ^Dlittle while He'd be^Cgin to use his ^Dcharm and guile to ^Gmake it ^{C G D} He'd ^Gbe the boss man ^Emof this town He’d ^Clet nobody ^Dpush him down He'd be the ^Chardest, and the ^Dtoughest and he'd ^Gtake it ^{C G}

And I said, "^EmAlways fight, don't lose face ^CAlways lead, never chase ^ANo one knows the second place So ^Dhurt and bleed, but win the ^Crace" ^D

So ^Gwhen he passed the ^Embig exam I was ^Cproud he came, the ^DBig I Am I could ^Csee he didn't give a ^Ddamn who ^Gthought it ^{C G D} And I ^Gsaid it’s time you ^Emhad your wheels ^CSo you can see how ^Dpower feels So I ^Cfound the best and the^D fastest, and I ^Gbought it ^{C G}

In his ^Csports car and designer jeans He ^Gplayed the king of ^Emall the teens And he ^Amsoon found out, ^Cmoney means, best ^Dlabel ^{G D C} And the ^Ggirls he had wore ^Emsweet perfume Their ^Cscent still lingered ^Din his room In the ^Cmorning, he'd just ^Dsmile across the ^Gtable ^{C G}

Then ^Glast week in a ^Emcountry lane In ^Cdarkness and in ^Dpouring rain A ^Cyoung kid must have ^Dbeen insane to ^Gtry him ^{C G D} In a ^Gclapped out Ford with ^Emwhite-walled tyres His ^Cchiming horn lit ^Dmy son's fires As he ^Cflashed his beams and ^Dtried to roar on ^Gby him ^{C G}

And ^Clike the man I knew he'd be ^GMy son chose to dis^Emagree And they ^Amraced together ^Cfast to see who'd ^Dweaken ^{G D C} And ^Gjust as my son ^Empulled ahead A ^Cwhite-walled tyre ^Dlost its tread And the ^Ctwo cars locked as ^Dflames became their ^Gbeacon ^{C G}

And I said, "^EmAlways fight, don't lose face ^CAlways lead, never chase ^ANo one knows the second place So ^Dhurt and bleed, but win the ^Crace__^D__"
