"Poetry In Motion"
Gentlemen, START YOUR ENGINES!!!
After each race I’m on the
Big Show,
Recapping each one blow by blow.
Some say racing is redneck,
Well I just think fans love the wrecks!
Poetry in Motion -
Those boys have got the notion - TO WIN!
From the green to the very
end,
It’s bump and grind -- I need a Depends!
Got the Intimidator and the Kid too,
Pit stops now always a zoo!
Poetry in Motion -
Those boys have got the notion - TO WIN!
CHORUS:
Well if ya don’t know it - I’m your NASCAR poet!
And I’m writing ‘bout all the tracks.
If ya don’t know me - You should listen carefully,
I’ll give you all the facts!
Poetry in Motion -
Those boys have got the notion. TO WIN!
Fans sit through the sun and
rain,
When driver’s wreck - we feel their pain.
We all love the racing fuel smell,
Engines roar like hounds of hell!
Poetry in Motion -
Those boys have got the notion - TO WIN!
Well after every checkered
goes down,
Get your friends and gather ‘round.
Listen to me for all the details,
Of who screams, and who wails!
Poetry in Motion - Those boys have got the notion...
CHORUS:
Well if ya don’t know it - I’m your NASCAR poet!
And I’m writing ‘bout all the tracks.
If ya don’t know me - You should listen carefully,
I’ll give you all the facts!
Poetry in Motion -
Those boys have got the notion. TO WIN!
Hey Baby! - Come over here and let me show you my Talladegee tattoo!
Oooh! They spun into the grass.
Boy I’ll bet that puckered their ass!
Now it’s time for pits to end;
that beautiful ballet of redneck men!
Don’t you know it - I’m the NASCAR Poet!
POETRY IN MOTION...
When I first heard "Poetry In Motion" it was The Beach Boys meets The Go Gos; a surfer vacation kinda song. I don't know what made us throw that idea out, but when we threw in the sound effects, LN started to growl the vocal and the song morphed into what you hear here.
"Poetry In Motion" was recorded in a converted 2-car garage that was being used as a guest-room/rec-room. We moved all the furniture to the walls, set up the instruments, and rolled the tape.
"Poetry In Motion" still sends chills up my spine...
