Lyrics

A block of knotty pine
And four plastic wheels
I can still smell the dust
And the paint and the peels
Dad helped me carve it
For the big race day
We put it on the track
And sent it on its way
I lost the first place ribbon
Many years ago
When I started down
This troubled road
Now I'm holding this
Token in my shaky hand
Wish somebody warned me
But now I understand
It hurts like hell
To lose someone you love
It's worse when you're cursed
With a hand me down crutch
I wish I could go back
To those pinewood days
Find the right track and just
Drift away, drift away
There was a time where I thought
I could feel no pain
Well I just found out
It doesn't work that way
Mistakes come to haunt you
In the blink of an eye
The bottle seemed like
A place to hide
I wonder if I'll ever
Have kids of my own
We'd race the pine box derby
Before they're grown
And when they go off running
Down that same old track
I'll give them a place
They can always come back
Cause it hurts like hell
To lose someone you love
It's worse when you're cursed
With a hand me down crutch
I wish I could go back
To those pinewood days
Find the right track and just
Drift away, drift away, drift away
