Song Lyrics

Verse:
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

Verse 2:
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

Chorus:
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

Verse 3:
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

Chorus:
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
