Cruising along in the gear of six

After dashing around and thriving in the mix

Slow down in third to take any knocks

But always being ready in the starting blocks

 

Looking over your shoulder is not always good

What’s past is gone and you know you should

Look straight ahead and concentrate

Don’t lose your nerve and hit the brakes

 

Focus on the things you see

To get right where you want to be

Take control and have no fear

Don’t live your life in reverse gear
