[Verse 1] He never had much but he saved enough To buy a souped up Chevrolet For years he drove them little dirt tracks Trying to make himself a name Until one night down in Gainesville When he finally found some fame It took all he had but he took the flag And a drive down victory lane From Talladega, Alabama Hes the new man on the track Lined up next to Sterling Marlin Dale Jarretts two cars back And its gentlemen start your engines And the pace car pulls away He may not out run his heroes But hell prove hes here to stay [Chorus] Legends of the asphalt Men with nerves of steel Theyll give up everything they own Just to stay behind the wheel From a Thunderbird to a Chevrolet Who wins nobody knows Theyre running hard for the chequered flag Theyre high speed heroes You might also like[Verse 2] Its a pedal to the metal Rev up and change the gears And the sound of Sunday thunder Is sweet music to his ears Theres a pileup on the back stretch And the crowd begins to roar And his mind goes back to other days And the ones who came before Theres Richard, Dale, and Herbie Davey, Lee, and Cale And in the second turns the very place Where old fireball hit the rail Dale Earnhardt took the long ride He didnt go alone He just drove off into glory And the angels took him home [Chorus][x2]
