you got the first mile made it through
but you’re falling apart
forget the distance that you’ve moved
since you were at the start
i bet you would do much better
doing what you feel in your parts
because you give and take and give
all that you’ve got
and it starts to break you down
until you have broken
i’ve got a bucket of water in cause
you catch on fire
i’m at the pit stop waiting for you
if you blowout a tire
i’ve gotta tell you
you fight like a bull
and that i truly admire
that you give and take and give
all that you’ve got
and it starts to break you down
until you have broken
no flag in sight yet but you’ve
gotta keep moving
if your wheels forsake you
it’ll surely break you
in time you’ll be sold and
you might feel cold
but don’t forget that
it’s the path you’ve chosen
but you’re falling apart
forget the distance that you’ve moved
since you were at the start
doing what you feel in your parts
because you give and take and give
all that you’ve got
until you have broken
i’ve got a bucket of water in cause
you catch on fire
if you blowout a tire
i’ve gotta tell you
you fight like a bull
that you give and take and give
all that you’ve got
and it starts to break you down
no flag in sight yet but you’ve
gotta keep moving
if your wheels forsake you
in time you’ll be sold and
you might feel cold
but don’t forget that

im just guessing that this person is watching his/her friend break down or taking the wrong turns in life and he knows he/she will fall apart soon because of it
For those who don't know, the Pinto was a car that exploded when hit from behind (a pretty standard effort from Ford).
This song seems to be written about how much he loves his car, but it really is about him supporting a friend in need
