Backbeat Troubadours True American Racer'





True American Racer (500 miles) feat. Slash

(Billy Bob Thornton/Mark Collie)


Born from a fearless breed
Hungry for speed
Red-blooded, true American racer
Two Ohio boys
In a fast machine
And dreams they're chasin'
A true American racer

Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles

Five hundred miles
And a dream comes true

Well, it all gets real
Caged in steel
Red-blooded, true American racer
Running wild and free
Dust is all you see
And your dreams come true for a
True American racer

Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
And a dream comes true

Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Red-blooded, true American racer

(Instrumental) He stood in victory lane
And he felt no pain
Took one more sip of that milk
And he whispered
I can go now

Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Red, white, and blue American racer

Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Red, white, and blue American racer

Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
