I reckon it might be time for us to shift up a gear
What do you think?
Might be time to smoke the tyres a little
I reckon it might even be time to see if this band up here is indeed
Built for speed
♪
When I was just a baby, my mum and my dad
Said "Slow down son, you're crawling too fast"
Had skinned up knees, I had bumps on my head
Well, I couldn't talk then but if I could I'd have said
That I was built for speed, I was born to run
I get chills when they fire off that starter's gun
Keep your rocking chair and your tranquility
I wasn't built for comfort, I was built for speed

Well, that car lot man said "I've got a deal for you
It's got air con and cushy seats and it rides real smooth"
Well, I told him "I don't care if the saddle looks good
'Cause it's all about them horses underneath the hood"
I was built for speed, I was born to run
I get chills when they fire off that starter's gun
Keep your rocking chair and your tranquility
I wasn't built for comfort, I was built for speed (hey)

Now, a hundred years from now, when my body gives out
I won't have no nursemaid wheeling me around
I'll take a chrome Harley motor and I'll bolt it to my chair
And I'll lay a strip of rubber up the pearly white stairs
I was built for speed, I was born to run
I get chills when they fire off that starter's gun
Keep your rocking chair and your tranquility
I wasn't (built for comfort, I was built for speed)
I was built for speed, I was born to run
I get chills when they fire off that starter's gun
Keep your rocking chair and your tranquility
I wasn't (built for comfort, I was built for speed)
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed, yeah, yeah

Oh, how good was that?
