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 runnin'
Daddy's old Winnebago
Wing and a prayer down 65
Five best friends on four bald tires
I can still see Billy smilin' when we finally made it

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e111477-eric_church~talladega_lyrics.html ]
To Talledega, boys raise the
Whiskey in your glass
Here's to turn it up, slowin' down
And cars that go real fast
We were laughin' and livin'
Drinkin' and wishin'
And thinkin' as that checkered flag was wavin'
Sure would like to stay in
Talladega

Like a stone, 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 will
Like rockin' Randall, gettin' rowdy
Shootin' roman candles at the man in the moon
'Til the Alabama sun was breaking

Over Talledega, boys raise the
Whiskey in your glass
Here's to turn it up, slowin' down
And cars that go real fast
We were laughin' and livin'
Drinkin' and wishin'
And thinkin' as that checkered flag was wavin'
Sure would like to stay in
Talladega
Talladega

When the winds grow 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 Talledega, boys raise the
Whiskey in your glass
Here's to turn it up, slowin' down
And cars that go real fast
We were laughin' and livin'
And drinkin' and wishin'
And thinkin' as that checkered flag was wavin'
I sure would like to stay in
Talladega

Talladega, Talladega
