Lyrics




When I was a kid I loved hanging out
Down at the old dirt track
It 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 looking back
They don't give no prize for last
It's a white knuckle ride
There's only one thing on your mind
It's being first to cross that finish line
White knuckle ride
I love leaving 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 and I love my car
When I hear that engine roar
Strap me in, let the race begin
Put the pedal to the floor
Now I got me a big time sponsor
The best crew working for me
But I ain't any different
From the way I used to be
It's a white knuckle ride
There's only one thing on your mind
It's being first to cross that finish line
It's a white knuckle ride
I love leaving y'all behind
If I don't run out of gas and my tires will last
I'm gonna take that checkered flag
Might crash and burn if we take that turn
A little bit too fast
That's a chance you take if you're gonna race
You can't let up off the gas
It's a white knuckle ride
There's only one thing on your mind
It's being first to cross that finish line
White knuckle ride
I love leaving y'all behind
If I don't run out of gas and my tires will last
I'm gonna take that checkered flag
Yes I will
Woo hoo
White knuckle ride
White knuckle ride
White knuckle ride
White knuckle ride
White knuckle ride
