Alabama - Richard Petty Fans

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 Petty's ran


What kept the motor's 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


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...
