When I was a kid I loved hangin' out Down at the ol' dirt track Was my dream to be out there The leader of the pack I had to wait all week for Sunday But it never comes too fast When they hit that track They ain't lookin' back They're gonna give no price to blast It's a white knuckle ride There's only one thing on my mind It's being the first to cross that finish line White knuckle ride I love leavin' y'all behind If I don't run out of gas And my tires will last I'm gonna take that checkered flag Well I love my job 'cause I love my car When I hear that engine roar Strap me in, let the race begin I put the pedal to the floor Now I got me a big time sponsor The best crew workin' for me But I ain't any different Than the way I used to be It's a white knuckle ride There's only one thing on my mind It's being the first to cross that finish line White knuckle ride I love leavin' y'all behind If I don't run out of gas And my tires will last I'm gonna take that checkered flag That crash and burn You can take that turn A little bit too fast But that's a chance you take Putting on the brakes Being let up off the gas It's a white knuckle ride There's only one thing on my mind It's being the first to cross that finish line White knuckle ride I love leavin' y'all behind If I don't run out of gas And my tires will last I'm gonna take that checkered flag Come on, boys White knuckle ride White knuckle ride White knuckle ride White knuckle ride
