  sözleri:
  
  inspiried by 'a nice morning drive', by richard s. foster
  words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
  
  my uncle has a country place, that no one knows about
  he says it used to be a farm, before the motor law
  and on sundays i elude the 'eyes' and hop the turbine freight
  to far outside the wire, where my white-haired uncle waits.
  
  jump to the ground
  as the turbo slows to cross the borderline
  run like the wind,
  as excitement shivers up and down my spine
  down in his barn
  my uncle preserved for me, an old machine
  for fifty-odd years
  to keep it as new has been his dearest dream
  
  i strip away the old debris, that hides a shining car
  a brilliant red barchetta, from a better, vanished time
  i fire up the willing engine, responding with a roar
  tires spitting gravel, i commit my weekly crime...
  
  wind in my hair
  shifting and drifting
  mechanical music
  adrenalin surge
  
  well-weathered leather
  hot metal and oil
  the scented country air
  sunlight on chrome
  the blur of the landscape
  every nerve aware
  
  suddenly, ahead of me, across the mountainside
  a gleaming alloy air-car shoots towards me, two lanes wide
  i spin around with shrieking tires, to run the deadly race
  go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase
  
  drive like the wind
  straining the limits of machine and man
  laughing out loud
  with fear and hope, i've got a desperate plan
  
  at the one-lane bridge
  i leave the giants stranded
  at the riverside
  race back to the farm
  to dream with my uncle
  at the fireside...
• richard foster'ın a nice morning drive hikayesinden esinlenerek yazılmıştır. petrol bittikten sonra çıkarılan motor yasası ile benzin kullanan araçlar yasaklanmıştır. anlatıcının amcasının taşrada saklı kırmızı bir barchetta'sı vardır. bu arabayla gezintiye çıkan ara karakterimiz, iki şerit genişliğindeki modern hava arabaları tarafından kovalanır, ancak dar bir köprü sayesinde kurtulur.
