Talladega

It was the summer before the real world started and
The deal was we would get to go, if we
Cleaned it up, and got it running
Daddy's old Winnebago
Wing and a prayer down 65
Five best friends on four bald tires
I can still see Billy smiling
When we finally made it
To Talladega, boys raised up
Whiskey in your glass, here's to turning up
Slowing down and cars that go real fast
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving
Sure would like to stay in, Talladega
Like a storm, time rolls on
You can't hit pause as we just did
Most days in life don't stand out
But life's about those days that will, like
Rocking rando, getting rowdy
Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon
til the Alabama sun was breaking
Over Talladega, boys raised up
Whiskey in your glass, here's to turning up
Slowing down and cars that go real fast
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving
Sure would like to stay in, Talladega
When the winds go cold and it blows October
I think about us shoulder to shoulder
Like those cars my thoughts roll over and over and over
In my mind
Tonight I'm in Talladega, boys raised up
Whiskey in your glass, here's to turning up
Slowing down and cars that go real fast
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving
Sure would like to stay in, Talladega
