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
