BP’s Race

You ran the tires of her during your career.
Wrecked a few and won a few more.
Dents a plenty on BP’s doors.
It never slowed you though.

Racin round and round.
BP never lost faith in his chase for the Crown.
He dreampt of Daytona and the 500.
Racin and racin til the dream went down.

Chasing after the Winston Crown.
A bad day never slowed you down.
BP found a way to battle on and on.
Round and round till he got that Crown.

Now a different race has come to town.
BP will win this race too.
We cheer you on and on.
This is a race that will be won.

Dust off that old fire suit BP.
Strap in for the ride.
This time your car is full.
We are all along for the ride.

Round and round we all go.
BP, we will urge on and on.
Race every lap with you we will.
No doubt you will win cause we are with you.
