C  
I was on my way to Daytona
D#
I had my race gear in my pack
F
When a stranger pulled up beside 
 C
In a stock car painted black
C
He was dressed like a NASCAR driver
    D#
with moustache and mirrored eyes
       F
He said, it's a long walk to Florida
D#
Would you like a ride son
C
so I crawled across that roll cage
D#
as he fired that chevy up
F
The badge on his sleeve said
                C
the man had won seven winston cups
 C                         D#
His eyes were intimidatin' as he rode into the night
F                             D#
An' I knew there was somethin' stange about this ride.

[Chorus]
            A#
An' he said Boy can you make 
     F                   C
fans stand and scream your name
C     
can you hit em' in the rear, grab another gear, 
          G
and still roll into victory lane
A#                      F            C
boy do you know how it feels to run three wide
                A#                    F
Cause if you're Daytona Bound let me warn ya'
             C
You're in for a ride.

[Repeat intro]
C
Then he cried when we got to Daytona
D#
as he pulled on to the track
        F
he said this is where you get off boy
      C
cause #3 ain't comin' back
C 
As I crawled out of that race car I said
D#
Thanks I'll catch you later
        F  
He said it'd be tough catchin' me boy
      D#
cause I'm the intimidator
