Richard Petty Fan Lyrics - Alabama

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 

Photos 

I know he'll drive forever 

In the heart of every fan 

And he will be remembered 

As the best that's ever been...
