[verse]
She's a speed-crazy mare
With a racing kind of flair
and an attitude that's out of this world 

She trots away from wrecks
With a kerchief on her neck 
She's a daredevil type of girl 

It's been a tough life 
at the edge of a knife
she had a rough go on this ride 

I see it sometimes
when she steadied with a sigh
She looked into the mirror and cried 

[bridge]
It's in the past now, filly
make it to the end
get up and get running
when you fall down again 

step on the gas now
said "if I'm not first then I'm last"
going fast in the lane, 
with the wind in her mane 

[chorus]
Take what you need to burn the light
Peeling out away from sight 
spread out your wings and fly high 

I know 
That you've got what it has to take
In your soul you know the way
Get on up and take the day, now 

"And when you have to do the hardest part
"just follow every beat of your heart
"keep on going til you reach the end"
just like you said, oh
get up and go 

[verse]
She's a speed-crazy mare
With a racing kind of flair
She's a daredevil type of girl 

She lifts me up from wrecks
lays her head on my neck
and tells me all I need in this world 

[bridge]
She's a fast lane pony
up til the end
she can jump and get flying
when she falls down again 

Picking herself up
said "just get your head in the game"
there's nothing quite the same
like the wind in her mane 

[chorus]
Take what you need to burn the light
Tearing out into the night
Hard and fast and blazing bright now 

My love
I don't care what they have to say
across the line, you know the way
Record time, take the day now 

And when you have to do the hardest part
You know to do it straight from your heart
"keep on going til you reach the end"
just like you said to me 

Get up and break with the speed of flashing lights
Gleam against the restless nights
The golden skies are blazing bright now 

I know
You've got what it has to take
In your heart you know the way
Get on up and take the day, now 

And when you have to do the hardest part
Just follow the beat of your heart 
when you feel it you always show
How to get up and go
Get up and go 

[verse]
she's a precious kind of mare
run my fingers through her hair
And hold her hooves tight for a while 

I see it sometimes
A glimpse of paradise
When I look into her eyes and she'd smile
