_ _ _ _ _ Before I could walk I had [F] a wrench in my hand I was [G] my mama's little angel
My daddy's second chance He went end over end
[F] First year he went pro And he [D] lost part of his eyesight
So he couldn't race no more [G] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He never lost his touch
When he got [C] under a hood [G] He knew how to make them run
He knew one day he would see his name in victory lane
[F] And engraved on that cup [D] Just like all them other crazy fools
Racing in their blood _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] He'd put me on his lap
When he'd drive and I'd [G] take a wheel And he'd say,
What do you think about that, son?
[F] How [D] does she feel?
You just whittle them little legs Get [F] long enough to reach the gas
[G] Once you put her on [Dm] the floor One time there ain't no [D] turning back _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Every Saturday he'd take [F] me out to the garage [G] He'd take an empty bucket
And fill it full of engine parts He'd sit me down and pour them out
In [F] front of me on the floor I'd have [D] to tell him what each one was
And what each one was for _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ When we'd jump in his old car
And go [F] down to the race that night He'd tell [D] me what each driver was doing wrong
What each one [G] did right He could always pick the winner
Before [F] they ever took a curve Number [D] three might have the car
But 43's got the nerve
[G] _ [C] _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] But before I turned 18 Daddy said, now pretty soon
You'll [G] be old enough [Dm] to race But I'm gonna [F] leave it up to [D] you
I taught you all about it [F] Taught you everything I know
You [G] gotta have a car to do it You gotta work [Dm] and buy [D] your own _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ First one that I bought Was a [F] Mustang number two
[G] Nobody kept them any longer Then they kept a pair of shoes
They started showing up At every [F] used car lot in [Dm] town
A V8 [D] on a go-kart Easy terms, no money down _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Me and Daddy and my aunt We took her [F] home and went to her town
[G] Checked her out real good Cleaned her up and bored her out
Took out all the seats Pulled the [F] carpet off the floor
[D] Knocked out all the glass And welded up the door
_ [F] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Well, the first time that I raced My qualifying was a shame
[G] I started out way in the back And [F] came back [D] about the same
Pulled her in the pit Couldn't look [F] my daddy in the eye
[G] He said, if you quit now, son It's gonna [C] haunt you [D] all your life
See, _ _ _ _ it ain't about the money Or even [F] being number one
You gotta [G] know when it's all over You did the best you could have done
And knowing that it's in you [F] And you never let it out
[C] It's worse [D] than blowing any engine Or any wreck you'll ever have _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Since then I wrecked a bunch of cars [F] And I broke a bunch of bones
[G]
Pitch anybody's race out there And I learned to run my own
[D]
I'd shove them in the [G] wall [Dm] And I'd hit them from behind
I'd let them [D] know that I was there I'd let them know that track was [Dm] mine
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] It's been several years Since my daddy passed away
But [G] in the pictures on my dash Every time [F] I go to [D] race
I lost more than I won But [F] I ain't gonna give up
Till [G] they put me in the ground And [D] daddy's name is on that cup _ _ _ _ _ _ _
