Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
They met when he was known
C 
as hell on wheels in Carolina
G 
Gm 
Like a shadow moving
G 
D 
through the southern pines
She was 17 years old,
C 
he ran shining a flathead Ford
G 
D 
in the summer of 1959.
By the time the 60s ended,
C 
he was known across the country.
G 
From dirt tracks to Daytona,
D 
he was king.
She was right there by his side
C 
as the years went racing by
G 
And when the baby came
D 
you know they had everything
G 
Every night he calls her name
A 
through the smoke and the flames
G 
A 
Whispered in that soft southern drawl
D 
And she knows how it feels
C 
to have her hands on the wheel
G 
She wakes up right before
D 
she hits the wall
Last week their son turned 21
C 
at a hundred miles an hour
G 
D 
On a little track somewhere in Tennessee
He called to say he missed her
C 
Wished she could have been there
G 
D 
G 
D 
But he understood why she couldn't be
But the sound of his voice
C 
Takes her back to Talladega
G 
D 
Memories come rushing like a flood
There's nothing she could say
C 
that would matter anyway
G 
Cause she knows he's
D 
got running in his blood
G 
Every night he calls her name
A 
through the smoke and the flames
G 
A 
Whispered in that soft southern drawl
D 
Now she knows how it feels
C 
to have her hands on the wheel
G 
Just before she hits the wall
