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 raise the

Whiskey in your glass here's to turn it 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 stone time rolls on

You can't hit pause that's just the deal

Most days in life don't stand out

But life's about those days that will like

Rockin' Randall gettin' rowdy

Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon

'Til the Alabama sun was breaking

Over Talladega boys raise the

Whiskey in your glass here's to turn it 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 grow 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 raise the

Whiskey in your glass here's to turn it 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
