Bo sat in his car as he waited for the race to begin. It was the first big race that he would be racing in, and the first time he wouldn't be racing in Hazzard county. He was nervous, that was expected. This wasn't like his ordinary races, or like the times he and his cousin Luke would try to outrun Roscoe or Enos on the Hazzard streets. No today was the race that if he won, it would solve a lot of the money problems the Dukes were having.
He looked out the window and saw all the people who had come to see the race. In one corner he saw a lot of people that he knew from Hazzard. News had spread quickly about him going to this race. "Please let me win this race so I can help out my family," he said to himself while getting impatient that the race hadn't begun yet.
The moment that everyone was waiting for had now come. Bo was racing the best he could. He was in the lead for quite some time of the race. All he kept telling himself was that he was doing this for his family and for Hazzard. He knew they all wanted him to do his best, that's what they all told him. But he knew they did want him to win as well, they didn't have to tell him that, but he knew that's what they really wanted.
Then the worst moment happened, there had been no cars around him so he thought he was in the lead for a good distance. Until one car all of a sudden sped up and was now in front of him. And then, something happened, Bo lost all his concentration, having so much on his mind and couldn't catch up to what was now three cars in front of him.
That day, Bo came in fourth at the race, which of course upset him. Luke was the first to go over to him, "Bo you did your best. That's all that matters."
Uncle Jesse came over telling him the same thing. But Bo wasn't happy with himself. And on the way back to Hazzard, Bo was quiet the whole drive home.
I
dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like
today never happened
Today never happened before
For the rest of that night, Bo just wasn't himself. He wasn't hungry for dinner and was in bed before it even got dark. Luke came into the room a few hours later to go to bed and saw Bo was still awake.
"Bo there's a race here in Hazzard next weekend. I guess we'll be driving in it right?"
Bo shook his head, "Luke, I let everyone down today. I can't race again, no one will ever want to see me race again. And now we're out of even more money. I just can't Luke."
"Bo, we all know you're the best driver around here. So you messed up once race. Don't let it get to you. You'll get them the next time."
"I just don't know Luke. I don't know if I could ever do it again, at least not any time soon."
Luke nodded, "Don't worry Bo, if you don't feel ready to race, then I'm on your side."
Welcome
to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is
here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could
be
Between how it is and how it should be
It was coming near the end of the week and Bo still hadn't decided if he wanted to race or not. Luke really wanted Bo to decide to race, only cause he knew that would be the only way Bo would get over the fact of the other race. None of the Dukes were putting pressure on Bo to race again, however friends of theirs seemed to be.
The day before the race and Bo was thinking of what he would decide. He loved to race, everyone knew that. And he wasn't about to give up his dream of being a Nascar driver. So at dinner that night he decided to tell the family his final decision.
"Guys, I'm gonna race tomorrow," he said.
Luke smiled, "Knew you wouldn't let this chance pass by."
Maybe
redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where
you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you
gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
Bo was with his family and friends at the Boar's Nest before the race. "You know it's so good to see Bo back to being himself," Luke said to Daisy.
"Yea know what you mean. Seeing him like that this past week, I felt so bad."
Everyone went outside when the race was about to begin.
I
dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like
today never happened
Today never happened
Today never
happened
Today never happened before
That day, Bo was definitely back to being himself. And when he came in first place, there was no one happier than Bo. He had finally forgotten all about that one day, the one day that almost crushed his dream, was now something in the past.
