Fireball - Dan Reeder

Contemplate the subtle grace of Ditmar

As he drives his race car

Through turn six at Riverside in a power slide

He used to play the cello in a jazz band

Oh, so mellow and so low

The guys would close their eyes and say go man go

Well, there ain’t now sunshine when she’s gone

And there ain’t no peace when she’s at home

If it had been a boxing match they’d say

He tried to save the bout with a Sunday punch

And a knockout in the last round

He braked too late in the back straight

Hit the wall they all say that car was a fireball

Before it hit the ground

And there ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone

And there ain’t no peace when she’s at home

Contemplate the subtle grace of Ditmar

As he drives his race car

Through turn six a Riverside in a power slide

He braked too late in the back straight

Hit the wall they all say that car was a fireball

Before it hit the ground

And there ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone

And there ain’t no peace when she’s a home
