Southern Boys and Detroit Wheels

Hear that dixie thunder roaring
Through those blue ridge hills
Haulin' that white lightning from
A neighbor’s moonshine still
Carolina to Daytona they
Gave us all a thrill
That’s how it all got started
Southern boys and Detroit wheels
Shade tree mechanics changin'
Oil and fixin' flats
They could pull a motor yeah
And change it just like that
The magic in their fingers
The talent and the will
A winning combination
Southern boys and Detroit wheels
The Pettys and The Allisons
Among the chosen few
They went from the back roads
To making front page news
Born to chase a dream and
Bound to lead the field
They make my world go round
Southern boys and Detroit wheels
Oh I miss Ol' Dale Earnhardt
Number three riding high
Pedal to the metal man
He could really fly
Two things you gotta have
A heart of gold and nerves of steel
Racing’s in their blood
Southern boys and Detroit wheels
The Pettys and The Allisons
Among the chosen few
They went from the back roads
To making front page news
Born to chase a dream and
Bound to lead the field
They make my world go round
Southern boys and Detroit wheels
Yeah a winning combination
Southern boys and Detroit wheels
