about

Winchester 7: Access to a Porsche while on a trip to the Grand Canyon? Yeah. I think that we can do something with that. What's that? You have a cute dog that would like a cameo? No worries.

From a writing perspective, I found myself playing a barred G to D6 over and over and over again; changing the rhythm right up to the point that we were in studio, when Jack suggested that we introduce a break. Around it, and comparatively easily, developed a melody.

Thematically, I started with the idea of writing a song about how I might feel when my daughter gets her driver's license. However, a few Grand Tour episodes later, the song became much more about what it might be like when she gets her driver's license...if she also happens to be a champion racing car driver.

Finally, I took the opportunity while recording to incorporate acoustic-to-electric parts for sonic contrast.

lyrics

One
Day I will
come to realize

She
took the keys
and went for a ride

My baby, knows no other way
I'll try not to close my eyes
when she rockets down the interstate
doing a hundred and five
she's got horses and v8
it may have been unwise
best to clear out her lane
my baby, when she drives

My baby, knows no other way
you better recognize
she'll leave you while you hesitate
and wave bye bye
she's got horses and v8
it may have been unwise
best to clear out her lane
my baby, when she drives

Too
it should not
be of much surprise

When
she comes round
and begins to slide

She's
bound to be
first across the line

Just
imagine if
she actually was to try
