High Speed Heroes — текст песни (The Charlie Daniels Band)

He never had much but he saved enough
To buy a souped up Chevrolet
For years he drove them little dirt tracks
Tryin` to make himself a name
Until one night down in Gainesville
When he finally found some fame
It took all he had but he took the flag
And a drive down victory lane

From Talladega, Alabama
He`s the new man on the track
Lined up next to Sterling Marlin
Dale Jarrett`s two cars back
And it`s gentlemen start your engines
And the pace car pulls away
He may not out run his heroes
But he`ll prove he`s here to stay

CHORUS:
Legends of the asphalt
Men with nerves of steel
They`ll give up everything they own
Just to stay behind the wheel
From a Thunderbird to a Chevrolet
Who wins nobody knows
They`re runnin` hard for the checkered flag
They`re high speed heroes

It`s a pedal to the metal
Rev up and change the gears
And the sound of Sunday thunder
Is sweet music to his ears
There`s a pileup on the back stretch
And the crowd begins to roar
And his mind goes back to other days
And the ones who came before
There`s Richard, Dale, and Herbie,
Davey, Lee, and Cale
And in the second turn`s the very place
Where old fireball hit the rail
Dale Earnhardt took the long ride
He didn`t go alone
He just drove off into glory
And the angels took him home

REPEAT CHORUS 2x
