Richard Petty Fans Songtext / Lyric

Before he ever made the headlines

Or won the Winston cup

He survived his share of crashes

But he never did give up



The tracks in Carolina

Where all the Pettys ran

What kept the motors running

Way back then, were you the fans






He won seven at Daytona

It was STP and forty-three

King Richard is a legend

And he's a hero to me



When he wins he waves his hand

To the folks up in the stand

And he is dedicated

To all the Nascar fans



Well, I wish this year could last forever

But the race must go on

He'll hang up his helmet

But he never will be gone



I know he'll drive forever

In the heart of every fan

And he will be remembered

As the best that's ever been...
