Capo 1.
[Intro]
F C Am G (x2)
[Verse]
F C
It was the summer before the real world started and,
Am G
The deal was we would get to go, if we
F C
Cleaned it up, and got it running,
Am G
Daddy's old Winnebago.
F C
Wing and a prayer down 65,
Am G
Five best friends on four bald tires,
F C
I can still see Billy smiling
Am G
When we finally made it.
F C
To Talladega, boys raised up,
Am G
Whiskey in your glass, here's to turning up,
F C
Slowing down and cars that go real fast,
Am G
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,
F C
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
Am G
Sure would like to stay in, Talladega.
F C
Like a storm, time rolls on,
F F
You can't hit pause as we just did.
C F
Most days in life don't stand out,
F C
But life's about those days that will, like,
F F
Rocking rando, getting rowdy,
C F
Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon,
F
til the Alabama sun was breaking.
F C
Over Talladega, boys raised up,
Am G
Whiskey in your glass, here's to turning up,
F C
Slowing down and cars that go real fast,
Am G
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,
F C
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
Am G
Sure would like to stay in, Talladega.
F C
When the winds go cold and it blows October,
F F
I think about us shoulder to shoulder,
C F
Like those cars my thoughts roll over and over and over,
F
In my mind.
F C
Tonight I'm in Talladega, boys raised up,
Am G
Whiskey in your glass, here's to turning up,
F C
Slowing down and cars that go real fast,
Am G
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,
F C
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
Am G
Sure would like to stay in, Talladega
