Mark Knopfler – Speedway At Nazareth Lyrics 18 years ago
IMO the text is about racing, yes, but the meaning of the song is different. The racing season where the text is about is a metaphor for... life.

The beginning of the season (or life) is full of hope, a new chance is there. You have a long way to go to archive happiness.

The first things don't come easy. Once you realize that, that's the wake-up call. Then there is the struggle to make things better, but at first, you don't succeed. You'll get the three-cracked-vertibrae.

Then it all goes on, and it seems to get better, but some people dear to you may get lost... And then you see the improvement...
You'll get better, almost get your successes that you need so badly, and the joy in life, but not quite, your motor let you down... But you're still strong, and the last few knocks don't really bother you... Because at the end, at the Speedway at Nazareth, you made no mistake... You won, and everything was complete.

Conclusion: The meaning of the song, is that at the end, everything will be fine... Just don't give up!!
And this because of this moral it is my all-time favorite song.
