Lyrics
She named me Dale Darrell Walter Richard Petty Rusty Awesome Bill
Erving Gordon Earnhardt Smith Johnson Jr
I guess you could say mama was a NASCAR fan
I was born in Talladega up in the stands
The fans all cheered the second I arrived
The loudspeaker said, "The boy's born to drive"
We didn't have money for a pacifier
So I sucked on the valve off a Goodyear tire
A seven pound eight ounce son of the South
Born with a taste for racing in my mouth
She named me Dale Darrell Walter Richard Petty Rusty Awesome Bill
Erving Gordon Earnhardt Smith Johnson Jr
I got my first real stock car when I was nine
An old one mama bought off of Jeff Bodine
The Winston Cup people said, "The boy's too young"
Till I qualified second at Darlington
How in the world could a nine year old child
Hit a hundred and ninety-seven in a time trial?
The man said, "Mama oughta be ashamed
But by the way, son, tell us, what's your name?"
I told him, "Dale Darrell Walter Richard Petty Rusty Awesome Bill
Erving Gordon Earnhardt Smith Johnson Jr"
I got a Toys R Us sponsor and a new pit crew
Daytona loves little fifty-two
The Junior High school girls are all cheering for me
I'm out there intimidating number three
But I ain't got room on my cards or my caps
Or the helmet I'm driving with
To write Dale Darrell Walter Richard Petty Rusty Awesome Bill
Erving Gordon Earnhardt Smith Johnson Jr
