Racetrack in France Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson

[Chorus: Gil Scott-Heron]
On a racetrack in France, everybody got to clapping their hands
Seemed like a long way from Union Station
On a racetrack in France, everybody started to dance
I was a long way from home with those good vibrations
Hey!

[Interlude 1: Gil Scott-Heron]
Moving nice and easy

[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron]
Heard I needed to travel
"Go out and spread the word now," people say
Yeah, so I'm kicking up dust and gravel
On a racetrack near Marseilles
If it all sound like a mystery
Things that you just don't understand
Well, let me give you a little bit of history
About me and the Midnight Band

[Chorus: Gil Scott-Heron]
On a racetrack in France, everybody got to clapping their hands
It seemed like a long way from Union Station
On a racetrack in France, everybody started to dance
I was a long way from home with those good vibrations
I said, “Hey!”
