Alabama - Richard Petty Fan lyrics

Before he ever made the headlines Or won the Winston cup He survived his share of crashes But he never did give up The tracks in Carolina Where all the Pettys ran What kept the motors running Way back then, were you the fans He won seven at Daytona It was STP and forty-three King Richard is a legend And he's a hero to me When he wins he waves his hand To the folks up in the stand And he is dedicated To all the Nascar fans Well, I wish this year could last forever But the race must go on He'll hang up his helmet But he never will be gone I know he'll drive forever In the heart of every fan And he will be remembered As the best that's ever been
