"Speeding Sportscar" by Harris Chapman

Inspired by the video of a DBS Aston Martin I choose to write a song about how the car represents a frame of mind, the self-belief of living as fast and as loud and at maximum effort because you can, not for the sake of an audience, competition or vanity.

lyrics:

Dont know where I started
Im not in a hurry to return
But Im not slowing down
I might be travelling further
From where I ought to be

If you stumble across these baron fields
These swaying trees
This gentle breeze
Hear me roaring

Im a speeding sportscar
On an empty road
I will never win
Cause theres no race to win

But here, now, this moment
The road is mine
And its all I need
I dont need to be chased
To be raced

If you stumble across these baron fields
These swaying trees
This gentle breeze
Hear me roaring

Im a speeding sportscar
On an empty road
I will never win
Cause theres no race to win

When I realise theres nowhere to go
I dont stop for long
Cause what if Im wrong

Im a speeding sportscar
On an empty road
I will never win
Cause theres no race to win

This is a great theme tune! Very cinematic- evokes images of speeding cars through forest and mountain roads- great for a car advert!!!

I know your lyyrics give another dimension to the song- would be great to hear it all together!
