Thanks "oneradtec".
Yes, that is an original piece I did. I wrote the words to it and sung it and played all the 6 string guitar parts as well.
I haven't done too many race tunes. The only other one I have is about a horse with a name he doesn't like: Slow Poke!
My dad wrote the words to it and I play guitar and sing it. It is called "Horse Race"
Again, thanks for the compliment! "oneradtec"!
Here is the link to the horse race.

Thanks for the compliment!!
Yes I wrote the words, played both lead guitar and fingerpicking, sung it as well. It is one song that hasn't received much praise, so I was desperate to find a bike forum hoping people would like it. It is very dear to my heart because I feel the words jelled with the music to give a racing feel.
It means a lot to me that bike people might like it. I don't make much money for my music but I try to draw my inspiration from people's enthusiasm.

Thank you very much for the compliment. I used to have lyrics for it when I was on mp3.com but I lost interest being there. If there was a big interest for the song I would post the lyrics, but I just have not reached that point.
Thanks again.

Here are the lyrics!
'Bike Race" words!
This is the race all miy friends are here, Jimmy, John and Billy Joe.
The School's put it on my friends think their the best well, i will know!
There's that fastest kid in town he won trophies all around some as tall as wide as a chair.
He just shot ahead jumped the gun, that's unfair!
We'll I can't cry about it now, the race is on and I just got out in front!
It would take for me to win this race a real stunt!
Chorus:
Well I can't slow down, if I do I know I will loose ground!
Well I can't slow down, if I do I know I will loose ground.
No matter how hard I try, someone's right close bye!
I know I can't slow down.
I'm losen my breath quick fell like I'm getting sick.
Feels like this is going to be one tough race!
Going real fast all my friends I'm shootin past.
Like a rocket in outer space!
The dog thats crossed the road, truck with a heavy load.
O no what I'm I going to do?
Between them both is narrow.
Gotta be like an arrow and shot on through!
Chorus:
Well I can't slow down, if I do I know I will loose ground!
Well I can't slow down, if I do I know I will loose ground.
No matter how hard I try, someone's right close bye!
I know I can't slow down.
Guitar solo
Feel like I'm swervin my poor bike is curvin.
To the side, side, side of the street.
Gotta pedal fast, my breath won't last.
The pedal just left my feet!
Finish lines ahead, I feel like I'm dead.
The line just hitt my chest.
The crowd is jumpin my heart is thumpin.
Well, just beat the rest!
Now, I am a winner, not more will they call me a beginner.
My friends will treat me with respect.
My friends will treat me with respect.
My friends will treat me with respect.
My friends will treat me wih respect ! ! !

Words by me: Bill Furner,
Music basic outline by me.
All guitar work by me.
Song sung by me.

It starts off in A minor.
It is about a kid in a bike race of his life.
Good Luck
