Rookie of the Year

Roarin' out before the sun hits the track

White knuckles on the way with no lookin' back

They said I was green, said I was too new

But I learned how to fly on a red line groove

Dash lights glowin', heart beatin' fast

One shot, one laugh, make this moment last

I'm the rookie of the year, burnin' through the fear

Engine howlin' loud when I shift into gear

Chasin' that shaker flag, ain't no slowin' me down

From the back of the pack to the talk of the town

I'm the rookie of the year

Yeah, I'm comin' in hot

Gonna earn every mile on the asphalt I go

Yeah, crew hands work like a thunderstorm

Rinch in the night, keep the machine warm

Every turn's a gamble, every lane's a fight

But I was built for the pressure and the neon light

Tired, screamin' on the edge of control

I can feel that trophy callin' to my soul

I'm the rookie of the year, burnin' through the fear

Engine howlin' loud when I shifted a gear

Chasin' that checkered flag, ain't no slowin' me down

Come the back of the pack to the top of the town

I'm the rookie of the year

Yeah, I'm comin' in hot

Gonna earn every mile on the asphalt I got

One last laugh and the whole world fades

It's me and the track and the midnight blaze

If you blink and miss me flying by

Rising like a rocket in the Saturday sky

I'm the rookie of the year, burning through the fear

Engine howlin' loud when I shift in the gear

Chasin' that checkered flag, ain't no slowin' me down

From the back of a TAC to the talk of the town

I'm the rookie of the year, y'all heard my name

Crossin' that finish line and I'm on this plane
