King of the Road

When you're hooring down the road At ninety miles an hour on the back of a sulky racer With the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands And the horse is in your favor You're King of the Road Crack of dawn on a Sunday morn And the convoy's in full flow Pajero jeeps, cars and vans With the horse box on the tow Heading out to the edge of town There's a big race goin' down First nose to pass the two mile mark Is crowned the King of the Road Remember Chip'n'pin and the Indian In the Class A free leg race When the Chip took the gold on the Mullingar Road Well it wasn't the Indian's day But the Indian has blood to win He was bred by the big Gang Joyce For he's sired the foals, worth their weight in gold Taking home now many a race When your hooring down the road At ninety miles an hour on the back of a sulky racer With the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands And the horse is in your favour You're King of the Road Now there ain't no flies on the Big Noise If there are, they're paying the rent When the Big Noise ran with I'm the Man And the record he did break 3:57 down the Dualer, flat out on a two mile stretch Never be the sore loser, cough up now and pay your bets At when your hooring down the road At ninety miles an hour on the back of a sulky racer With the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands And the horse is in your favour You're King of the Road Fourteen spins and fourteen wins From the Streamline Sapphire mare With a record broke on the Ringsend Road One morning in the Derry air Now Thomas Clark has left his mark With a fine bred coloured cob And the Loove Hane, Big Noise, Sapphire Crew all part of the Indian's mob And when you're hooring down the road At ninety miles an hour on the back of a sulky racer With the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands And the horse is in your favor You're King of the Road Hooring down the road At ninety miles an hour on the back of a sulky racer With the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands And the horse is in your favor You're King of the Road
