Stand On It

Bruce Springsteen

Transposer:

[Verse 1] Well Jimmy Lee was hookin’ ’round the far turn of a funky southern Florida dirt track He had mud caked on his goggles and a screamin’ 350 stacked up on his back Well as he passed the stands he was feelin’ all tuckered out When through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout "Stand on it come on boy stand on it" [Verse 2] Mary Beth started to drift she hit the shift but she just couldn’t get a hand on it Racin’ some Red Hill boys she had the deed to the ranch and a grand on it With eight grand blowin’ hot on the red line She blew past a hitchhiker out on Route 39 He hollered "Stand on it go ’head baby stand on it" [Chorus] Well now when in doubt and you can’t figure it out Just stand on it Well if your mind’s confused you don’t know what you’re gonna do Well buddy stand on it Well if you’ve lost control of the situation at hand Go grab a girl go see a rock and roll band And stand on it Come on man stand on it (Guitar solo) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 3] Well now Columbus he discovered America even though he hadn’t planned on it He got lost and woke up one morning when he’s about to land on it He wouldn’t of got out of Italy man that’s for sure Without Queen Isabella standing on the shore Shouting "Stand on it go ahead man stand on it" [Chorus] Well now when in doubt and you can’t figure it out Just stand on it Well if your mind’s confused you don’t know what you’re gonna do Well buddy stand on it Well if you’ve lost control of the situation at hand Go grab a girl go see a rock and roll band And stand on it Come on man stand on it [Verse 4] Bobby was leadin’ the pack he settled back and he got ready for the long haul Well fifty yards from the finish line somebody roared up and they blew him into the wall Well he rolled over twice lucky to survive Layin’ in the back of the ambulance more dead than alive Somebody shouted "Man you call that drivin’? Why didn’t you stand on it?"

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire de personnages qui affrontent divers défis sur des circuits de course et dans la vie. On suit Jimmy Lee, qui doit faire face à l'épuisement en pleine compétition, tout en entendant des encouragements à donner le meilleur de lui-même. De même, Mary Beth, au volant de sa voiture, lutte pour garder le contrôle tout en tentant de remporter une course. Les protagonistes se voient confrontés à des moments de doute, mais l'idée centrale est de persévérer et de « foncer » malgré les obstacles. Le contexte est celui des courses automobiles dans le sud de la Floride, où la vitesse, la détermination et l’esprit de compétition sont essentiels. La chanson évoque aussi une touche historique avec l’allusion à Christophe Colomb, soulignant comment parfois, on se retrouve là où on ne s’y attendait pas, mais il faut continuer d’avancer. Ainsi, elle célèbre le courage de ne pas se laisser abattre et d'agir avec détermination.
