It was the sFummer before the Creal world started and,
The Amdeal was wGe would get to go, if we
FCleaned it up, Cand got it running,
DaAmddy's old WinnGebago.
WFing and a prayer doCwn 65,
FAmive best friends on foGur bald tires,
I can stFill see Billy sCmiling
When we finally mGade it.
To TallaFdega, boys Craised up,
WAmhiskey in your gGlass, 
here's to Fturning up, sClowing down 
and Amcars that go real Gfast,
We were lFaughing and living, Cdrinking and wishing,
And tAmhinking as that cGheckered flag was wFaving,
Sure would like to Gstay in, 
TalladegFa.C  Am  G  
FLike a storm, tCime rolls on,
You caAmn't hit pause as Gwe just did.
FMost days in life Cdon't stand out,
But liAmfe's about those Gdays that will, like,
FRocking rando, Cgetting rowdy,
AmShooting roman cGandles at the mFan in the moon,
til the AlaCbama sun was bGreaking.
Over TallFadega, boyCs raised up,
WAmhiskey in your gGlass,

and Amcars that go real Gfast,
We were lFaughing and living, Cdrinking and wishing,
And tAmhinking as that cGheckered flag was wFaving,
Sure would like to Gstay in,

When Fthe winds go cold and it blows October,
I thFink about us shoulder to shoulder,
LikFe those cars my thoughts roll over and over and over,
In my minGd
Tonight i'm in TallaFdega, boys Craised up,
