Before I could walk, I had a wrench in my handI was my Mama's little angel, my Daddy's second chanceHe went end over end, the first year he went proAnd he lost part of his eyesight, so he couldn't race, no moreBut he never lost his touch when he got under a hoodHe knew how to make them run, he knew one day he wouldSee his name in Victory lane and engraved on that cupJust like all them other crazy fools with racing in their bloodHe would put me on his lap when he'd drive and I'd take the wheelHe'd say What do you think about that, son? How does she feel?You just wait till them, little legs get long enough to reach the gasOnce you put her on the floor, one time there ain't no turning backEvery Saturday, he'd take me out to the garageHe'd take an empty bucket, fill it full of engine partsHe's sit me down and pour 'em out in front of me on the floorI'd have to tell him what each one was and what each one was forWe'd jump in his old car and go down to the race at nightHe'd tell me what each driver was doing wrong, what each one did rightHe could always pick the winner before they ever took a curveNumber three might have the car but forty three has got the nerveBefore I turned eighteen, Daddy said Now pretty soonYou'll be old enough to race when I'll leave it up to youI taught you all about it, taught you everything I knowYou gotta have a car to do it, you gotta work and buy your ownFirst one that I bought was a Mustang number twoNobody kept 'em any longer than they kept a pair of shoesThey started showing up at every used car, lot in townA V-eight on a Go-Cart, easy terms no money downMe and Daddy and my uncle took her home and we tore her downChecked her out real good, cleaned her up and bored her outTook out all the seats, pulled the carpet off the floorKnocked out all the glass and we welded up the doorsWell, the first time that I raced my qualifying was a shameI started out way in the back and came back about the samePulled her in the pit, couldn't look my Daddy in the eyeHe said If you quit now son, it's gonna haunt you all your lifeSee it ain't about the money or even being number oneYou gotta know when it's all over, you did the best you could've doneKnowing that it's in you and you never let it outIs worse than blowing any engine or any wreck you'll ever haveSince then I've wrecked a bunch of cars and I've broke a bunch of bonesIt's anybody's race out there and I've learned to run my ownI'd shove 'em in the wall and I'd hit 'em from behindI'd let them know that I was there, I'd let them know that track was mineIt's been several years since my Daddy passed awayBut his picture's on my dash, every time I go to raceI lost more than I won but I ain't gonna give up'Till they put me in the ground or Daddy's name's on that cup
