When I see the start gates I start my bike.
15 second board I’m ready to go,
5 second board and I’ve got the throttle on.
Gates drop and I`m on the back wheel,
Got the hole shot in the first turn.
Scrub my green Kawasaki on the first jump.
Finished four laps and I`m on my final lap.
I hear a four stroke Yamaha at my rear,
And a Suzuki 2 stroke trying to get round.
I’m not letting him,
So I twist the throttle round as far as possible.
I pull away in the sand.
I whip over the finish line, sparks go everywhere.
Victory is mine!
