Dale Earnhardt (1951-2001)

           

From The California Speedway

 To Daytona U. S. A.

Turnin' laps on high-banked ovals

Burnin' rubber all the way

   

'Most my life 'bout all I've lived for's

Been to cruise down Vict'ry Lane

Coast into The Winner's Circle

Toast 'n' show'r with brut champagne

   

I've got five hundred miles to race for glory
Five hundred miles to chase my dream
I've got five hundred miles to race for glory
For my faithful fans and loyal racin' team

   

Popped a tire at Talladega
Dropped my gearbox at The Glen
I've blown engines and thrown tantrums
That's the way it was back when

   

Pray that hard luck's far behind me
With God's help I still survive
For another shot at winnin'
Lord it's great to be alive!

   

I've got five hundred miles to race for glory
Five hundred miles to chase my dream
I've got five hundred miles to race for glory
For my faithful fans and loyal racin' team
