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
daddys 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
heres 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 cant hit pause that’s just the deal
most days in life dont stand out
but lifes about those days that we all like
rocking randall
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
heres to turning up
slowing down
and cars that go real fast
we were laughing and living drinking and wishing
and thinking as that checked 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 im in talladega
boys raised up
whiskey in your glass
heres to turning up
slowing down
and cars that go real fast
we were laughing and living drinking and wishing
and thinking as that checked flag was waving
sure would like to stay in
talladega
