On February 18, 2001 we lost the greatest race car driver Dale Earnhardt.
Well I was goin to Daytona
Had my race gear in my pack
When a stranger pulled up beside me
In a stock car colored black
He was dressed like a Nascar Driver
A mustache with mirrored eyes
He said it’s a long walk to Florida
Would you like a ride son?
Well I crawled across the row cage
Then he fired that Chevy up
And the patch on his sleeve said the man
Had won 7 Winston Cups
His eyes was intimidatin as hell
As we rolled into the night
And I knew there was something strange
About this ride
He said boy can you make fans stand
And scream your name
Have ya hit em in the ass
Never let off the gas
Til you roll into Victory Lane
He said boy do you know how it feels
When you’re runnin 3 wide
Cause if your Daytona Bound let me warn ya
You’re in for a ride
Then he cried when we got to Daytona
As we pulled out on the track
He said this is where you get out boy
Cause number 3 ain’t comin back
And as I climbed out of the race car
I said thanks I’ll catch ya later
He said you’ll pay hell catchin me son
Cause I’m the *****Intimidator******
He said boy can you make fans stand
And scream your name
Have ya hit em in the ass
Never let off the gas
Til you roll into Victory Lane
He said boy do you know how it feels
When you’re runnin 3 wide
Cause if your Daytona Bound let me warn ya
You’re in for a ride
He said boy can you make fans stand
And scream your name
Have ya hit em in the ass
Never let off the gas
Til you roll into Victory Lane
He said boy do you know how it feels
When you’re runnin 3 wide
Cause if your Daytona Bound let me warn ya
You’re in for a ride
If you’re Daytona Bound let me warn ya
You’re in for a ride
If you’re Daytona Bound let me warn ya
You’re in for a ride
