Story Behind The Song

Living in Kannapolis NC just a few miles for Charlotte Speedway. There is a lot of racing fans here.

Song Description

I work on the tune to bring in several situations involved in a typical race. The cars getting the involved in close racing, rubbing paint, pulling into the pits. Getting the white flag and then the checkered flag. Then going to winners circle

Lyrics

THAT'S RACING
Don eidman
D-I think myself an average man
A-All American racing fan
D-There's nothing that thrills me more
Than to A-see them come out
Of turn four

Here they F#M-come around the
A-track
Pedal F#m- down putting away the A-laps
And D-as the throw the A-green
A-All the women -scream
While E- the men just A- dream

D-See them go around the track
A-High speed chase a few friendly taps
D-Rubbing paint wheel to wheel
A-Just listen to that rubber squeal

Here they F#M-come around the
A-track
Pedal F#m- down putting away the A-laps
And D-as the throw the A-green
A-All the women -scream
While E- the men just A- dream

D-See them come into the Pitts
A-Fill it up and make it quick
D-Trying not to lose the pace
A-Gotta get back into the race

Here they F#M-come around the
A-track
Pedal F#m- down putting away the A-laps
And D-as the throw the A-green
A-All the women -scream
While E- the men just A- dream


BRIDGE
From the D- beaches of Daytona
To the A-west coast of Somona
D-Way up north to A-Michigan
D-To the tall tree pines Caroline
A-Atlanta, Vegas,Alabam

LEAD:

D-Pressing heavy on the gas
A-White flag is waving this lap is last
D-No time to lag
Hear those engines whine
A-The checker flag that finish line finish line

There he F#m- goes to the winners A-place
Trophy in his F#m- hands smile on his A- face
And D- when gets his A green
All the A-women scream
While the E-men all A-dream
And D-when he gets the A- green
All the woman F#m-scream
As the E-men all A-dream
