Eric Church - Talladega lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

It was the summer before the real world started n'

The deal was we would get to go, if we

Cleaned it up, and got it running daddy's old Winnebago

Wing and a prayer down 65, 5 best friends on four bald tires

I can still see Billy smiling when we finally made it

(Chorus)

To Talladega, boys raised up, whiskey in yo glass

Here's to turnin' up

Slowin' down & cars that go real fast

We were laughin' & livin', drinkin' & wishin'

And thinkin' as that checkered flag was wavin'

Sure would like 2 stay in, Talladega

(Verse 2)

Like a storm, time rolls on

Ya can't hit pause as we just did

Most days in life don't stand out

But life's about those days that will

Like rockin' rando, gettin' rowdy

Shootin' roman candles at the man in the moon

Till the Alabama sun was breakin'

(Chorus)

Over Talladega, boys raised up, whiskey in yo glass

Here's to turnin' up

Slowin' down & cars that go real fast

We were laughin' & livin', drinkin' & wishin'

And thinkin' as that checkered flag was wavin'

Sure would like 2 stay in, Talladega

(Bridge)

When the winds go cold and it blows October,

I think about us shoulder to shoulder,

Like those cars my thoughts roll over and over and over,

In my mind.

(Chorus)

Tonight I'm in Talladega, boys raised up, whiskey in yo glass

Here's to turnin' up

Slowin' down & cars that go real fast

We were laughin' & livin', drinkin' & wishin'

And thinkin' as that checkered flag was wavin'

Sure would like 2 stay in, Talladega
