Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 runnin'

Daddy's old Winnebago

And wing and prayer down 65

Five best friends on four bald tires

I can still see Billy smilin'

When we finally made it

[Chorus]

To Talledega

Boys raise the

Whiskey in your glass

Here's to turn it up, slowin' down

And cars that go real fast

We were laughin' and livin'

Drinkin' and wishin'

And thinkin' as that checkered flag was wavin'

Sure would like to stay in

Talladega

[Verse 2]

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

Shootin' roman candles

At the man in the moon 'til the

Alabama sun was breaking

[Chorus]

Over Talledega

Boys raise the

Whiskey in your glass

Here's to turn it up, slowin' down

And cars that go real fast

We were laughin' and livin'

Drinkin' and wishin'

And thinkin' as that checkered flag was wavin'

Sure would like to stay in

Talladega

Talledega

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

I'm in Talledega

Boys raise the

Whiskey in your glass

Here's to turn it up, slowin' down

And cars that go real fast

We were laughin' and livin'

Drinkin' and wishin'

And thinkin' as that checkered flag was wavin'

Sure would like to stay in

Talladega

[Outro]

Talladega, Talladega
