We left in plenty of time and thank God we did The clock kept screaming the time and tires skid Turn left, then a half hour later We were right back where we began when we started this trip It wasn't just my mood that was going downhill Even felt we were being pursued when the car stood still Turned right, the Tom-Tom said I wanna chuck it right outta the car and leave it for dead I swear we drove right past the old king's head Twenty-five times or more The wipers stopped and Catherine said "I can't take this anymore" So Lizzy jumped out and took the wheel She coulda took us to the moon and back By the time that we got out and slammed the door In a town called Ugley So after driving right past the Old Kings Head Fifty-five times or more The tire's flat and the battery's dead It doesn't matter any more We survived this drive to tell this tale What the hell did we come here for We couldn't wait to get out and finally slam the door On a town, that bloody town It's a cotton-picking town called Ugley How many times have you woken up To find your coffee's cold than a broken cup That's a hell of a way To start your day How many times have you looked at the date And a calendar full of empty pages What a hell of a way To see time flipping away Like a barrel down the hill keeps rolling faster And circumstances become your master And you realize Your hands ain't on the wheel anymore With the wind at your back and the sun at your side Take the bull by the horns and ride You gotta push for the stride It wins the race every time So when you're low on steam but your aim is high You gotta keep your eye on the prize You gotta push for the stride That wins the race every time For the stride For the stride With the wind at your back and the sun at your side Take the bull by the horns and ride You gotta push for the stride It wins the race every time So when you're low on steam but your aim is high You gotta keep your eye on the prize You gotta push for the stride That wins the race every time You gotta push for the stride That wins the race every time You gotta push for the stride That wins the race every time For the stride For the stride For the stride For the stride For the stride For the stride For the stride For the stride
