It’s a muscle car, a super car, a racing car, yeah She’s speeding down the highway, with the wind in her hair It’s a muscle car, a super car, a racing car, yeah Burning up the highway like she don’t have a care It’s a muscle car, a super car, a speeding machine Shes speeding like she wants to go too fast to be seen It’s a muscle car, a super car, a bullet on wheels Only she could drive while wearing stiletto heels It’s a muscle car, a super car, it cuts through the night She’s flicked a switch and now it’s lights are piercing and bright It’s a muscle car, a super car, I’ve got to be there Now I only see its lights and yet I don’t care It’s a muscle car, a super car, it’s freedom or bust It’s steel at speed and frankly it’s why I bit the dust It’s a muscle car, a super car, and it sent me off For its laminated windshield wasn't good for a moth

Despite the cruelty to moths, I thoroughly enjoyed your muscle car Terry. Congrats on the win.

I guess the 'Force' wasn't with that poor old moth, eh?! ~ Viz I. Goth

For the M word contest, I actually ought to have called this ‘Moth’ but that would have let the cat out of the bag a little too soon. Thanks, GW. Terry

At least the moth had moments of thrill, on the windshield of the muscle car driven with super speed skill. Enjoyed the read Terry… Belle

Thanks, Belle. I wrote this to a tune by my favorite band. Alas, few (as in ‘nobody’) here would know that tune. So I hoped the tempo would be self evident. Congrats on getting it. Ha ha! Terry
