Just a lazy kid at school
Always loved to break the rules
The only thing I thought was cool
Was to sit behind the wheel
Soccer ball and football boots
I didn't want to take that route
None of those would ever suit
Cos they didn't have a wheel
Cos when I hear that engine turning
And I feel those tyres a burning
When I roll the window down
It's pedal to the metal to the nearest town
There ain't no better feeling
When you sit behind the wheel
Just a kid of seventeen
Got the keys to my machine
I finally made those tyres scream
When I sat behind the wheel
Drifting sideways at two a.m.
Crazy kids away back then
Didn't have a lot of sense
When I sat behind the wheel
Cos when I hear that engine turning
And I feel those tyres a burning
When I roll the window down
It's pedal to the metal to the nearest town
There ain't no better feeling
When you sit behind the wheel
I'm a little older now
I guess I made it here somehow
I still love the V8 power
When I sit behind the wheel
I don't think I'll ever change
Petrol runs right through my veins
Seventeen I'm there again
Sittin' behind the wheel
Cos when I hear that engine turning
And I feel those tyres a burning
When I roll the window down
Its pedal to the metal to the nearest town
There ain't no better feeling
When you sit behind the wheel
When I hear that engine turning
And I feel those tyres a burning
When I roll the window down
Its pedal to the metal to the nearest town
There ain't no better feeling
When you sit behind the wheel
Oh there ain't no better feeling
When you sit behind the wheel
Oh yeah behind the wheel oh yeah
