Lyrics

Carolina Motor Speedway copyright Gregg Orsag 2002

drinkin' bourbon on your back porch long ago
listen to the whip-poor-wills
it's kinda' scary 'cause they're all around us
but it's you, honey, givin' me chills

I told you that I was the fastest
I told you that I never lost
you'd always laugh like you didn't mind it
even though you knew that I made it all up

Carolina Motor Speedway
that's where I want to be
Carolina Motor Speedway
I'll win your love for me

going faster than an airplane
in that long ago inventor's mind
if I could find a way to catch you
never ever get left behind again

guess I did allright since you went away
guess I kissed a couple other girls
but that's the moon in the morning daylight
there's only one who can make this world go 'round

what do you think when you're all alone?
what do you think when you're really all alone?
yeah, what do you think?

sometimes I conjure up a vision of that old house
and all those whip-poor-wills
then for a half a second I can hear your voice
in a world gone quiet and still

Carolina Motor Speedway
that's where I want to be
Carolina Motor Speedway
I'll race you from the mountains to the sea

Carolina Motor Speedway
that's where I want to be
Carolina Motor Speedway
I'll win your love for me

Carolina Motor Speedway
that's where I want to be
Caolina Motor Speedway
I'll race you from the mountains to the sea
I'll race you from the mountains to the sea
