Big County and The Reclaimers - 500 Miles (Colin McRae)
Oh, the forest stage is quiet today, a legend has retired.
His
chiselled face and wicked pace were both to be admired
McRae would drive his car like hell even if he lost a tire
Heck! he would drive 500 miles, with all his wheels on fire (fire
fire)
Chorus
O’er the yump and quickly, he’ll be on his
way
In a Rally car or a video game, that’s how McRae got paid
He could wear a bobble hat and make it look OK
We’ll rally ’round the Braveheart that was Colin
McRae
We’ll rally ’round the Braveheart that was Colin
McRae
When Colin drove with Nicky Grist it seems like yesterday
This Celtic clique just clicked and quick, went quickly straight
away
I’m glad to say I was there and I recall the day
When the World Rally Championship was won by Colin McRae
Chorus
O’er the yump and quickly, he’ll be on his way
In rally a car or a video game, that’s how McRae got paid
He could wear a bobble hat and make it look OK
We’ll rally ’round the Braveheart that was Colin
McRae
We’ll rally ’round the Braveheart that was Colin McRae
Will ya no come back again?
I’ll be back by noon on Sunday
