[Intro]
C F
G7 C
[Verse]
C F
Me and my brother-in-law J.D. drove to Bristol, Tennessee
G7 C
To watch that Goody's race beneath the lights
C F
Sky was dark and it looked like rain left over from that hurricane
G7 C
J.D. said, "We might get wet tonight"
C F
Now, old J.D., he's a real nice man, even though he's a Rusty Wallace fan
G7 C
And won't drink nothing but Miller Genuine Draft
C F
And he said, "Number 2's going all the way, you won't beat Rusty, not today
G7 C
He's the short track king" and I just had to laugh
C F
'cause I'm an Earnhardt man, you see, I live and die by number 3
G7 C
Any fool knows you always bet on black
C F
So me and J.D. argued some, I say he's crazy and he says I'm dumb
G7 C
But like Rusty and Dale, we always take it back
C F
Mother Nature give us the shaft, we sat in the rain for an hour and a half
G7 C
'cause it was just too doggone wet to race
C F
And when they dried the track and they dropped the flag, me and J.D. was
about half in the bag
G7 C
And he was hollering, "Rusty!", getting all in my face
C F
Along about lap 32, car 3 caught up with number 2
G7 C
And they touched and Rusty went up in the wall
C F
J.D. hollered, "There, now see, that no good cheating S.O.B.
G7 C
I hate his guts, I can't believe his gall"
C F
I said, "That's just racing, he got tagged" and the man in black got
black-flagged
G7 C
They stuck him at the tail end of the pack
C F
J.D. said, "Now, what you gonna do? Just sit back and watch number 2"
G7 C
I said, "We're down, but we're coming back"
C F
Sure enough, ol' Ironhead come through the pack like a needle and thread
G7 C
Though he might've bumped a few along the way
C F
Meanwhile, Rusty's effort came to nil, he got tangled up with Awesome Bill
G7 C
46 laps down, wasn't much to say
