Lyrics

KANNAPOLIS
Words & Music
By Neil Silverman
C2001-2003
Key of G

1) He learned to go real fast up the track at his daddy?s knee
He turned the wrench and then he turned the wheel
Right at number three

2) He?s in your mirror then he?s flyin? bye on to victory lane
The engines revin? long afterward all the crowds gone away

(Chorus)
All his friends come out to see him roar
Watch the flag go down
He puts the pedal to the Metal floor
the rubber burn the ground
But in kannapolis it?s silent tonight

3) From Talladega down to Rockingham and on the t.v. Too
On the banked turns and the straightaway
He?s coming after you

4) He?ll bang your paint and then he?s comin? round
He ain?t lookin? back
A devilish smile as he makes a hole
Streakin? through the pack

(Repeat Chorus)
(Guitar Solo)

(Bridge)
You can hear the crowd cheer
But you?ll never see him fear
Ironhead is home tonight
As the smoke clouds clear the light

(Repeat Chorus)

(Outro Chorus)
The Intimidator comes to roar
The checker flag goes down
He puts the pedal to the metal floor
The rubber burns the ground
But in Kannapolis?Its silent tonight
