Eric Church - Talladega lyrics

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 running
Daddy’s old Winnebago

Wing and a prayer down 65
Five best friends on four bald tires
I can still see Billy smiling
When we finally made it

To Talladega boys raised up
Whiskey in your glass here’s to turning up
Slowing down and cars that go real fast

We were laughing and living
Drinking and wishing
And thinking as that checkered
Flag was waving sure would like to stay in
Talladega

Like a storm, 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 we all like

Rocking Randall getting rowdy
Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon
‘til the Alabama sun was breaking

Over Talladega boys raised up
Whiskey in your glass here’s to turning up
Slowing down and cars that go real fast

We were laughing and living
Drinking and wishing
And thinking as that checked flag was waving
Sure would like to stay in talladega

When the winds go 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 I’m in Talladega boys raised up
Whiskey in your glass here’s to turning up
Slowing down and cars that go real fast

We were laughing and living
Drinking and wishing
And thinking as that checked flag was waving
Sure would like to stay in talladega

Talladega talladega
