Daytona 499

There we were coming 'round the bend One lap away from checkers in the wind Turn one, turn two, turn three They never saw nothing like you and me Down on the inside, leading the pack Your hand on my knee, my foot on the gas Making moves up front Everybody was rooting for us We coulda been Earnhardt in that 3 car down in victory lane Standing on the hood with that Goodwrench, wasting good champagne We coulda been burning out 'stead of burning out before that finish line But we were Daytona 499 We had a hell of a lead, had it running good The whole grandstand was thinking we would Take the whole thing home Yeah, girl, we were good as gone Looking back now, we were moving too fast Had plenty good tires, not enough gas The part that hurts the most Is, girl, we were so damn close We coulda been Earnhardt in that 3 car down in victory lane Standing on the hood with that Goodwrench, wasting good champagne We coulda been burning out 'stead of burning out before that finish line But we were Daytona 499, yeah Yeah, we coulda been Earnhardt in that 3 car just like '98 Standing on the hood with that Goodwrench, wasting good champagne We coulda been burning out 'stead of burning out before that finish line But we were Daytona 499 499
