Dale Jr.

Last night in Carolina, I went back to Daytona Beach

A Sunday in '98 watchin' you watch number three

And Dad, I've played some damn cool places I wish you coulda seen

But I know you were up there with a racin' heart like me

'Cause last night I met Dale Junior

Backstage at a show

We drank a few Bud Heavys

And he said, "Man, you know

Who should be here right now?"

With his arm 'round my back

We didn't talk about gold records

Or all of his checkered flags

Naw, we just did what missin' dad sons do

Yeah, last night I met Dale Junior

And all we talked about was Senior and you

Yeah, Senior and you

Yeah, I said, "I'ma go ahead and tell you sorry for

The way my old man gave your old man hell in heaven

For not drivin' a Ford"

And I know you woulda asked him 'bout the new motors in the cars

But while the band was breakin' down, we had a broken heart-to-heart

Last night I met Dale Junior

Backstage at a show

We drank a few Bud Heavys

And he said, "Man, you know

Who should be here right now?"

With his arm 'round my back

We didn't talk about gold records

Or all of his checkered flags

Naw, we just did what missin' dad sons do

Yeah, last night I met Dale Junior

And all we talked about was Senior and you

We took a picture on my phone

And I wanted to send it to

The biggest number three fan I knew

Yeah, Dad, that's you

Last night I met Dale Junior

Backstage at a show

We poured out two Bud Heavys

For the two best men we know

Yeah, who should be here right now

With their arms 'round our backs?

We didn't talk about gold records

Or all of his checkered flags

Naw, we just did what missin' dad sons do

Last night I met Dale Junior

And all we talked about was Senior and you

Yeah, Senior and you
