Oh King Richard Kyle Petty

[Verse 1]
Oh King Richard, you rum runner's dream
The swiftest of outlaw that I've ever seen
Your checkered flag waving so high in esteem
And no one can catch you at all

So what can you say about the man built for speed?
The master mechanic gave you what you need
Survival on instinct and heart that don't bleed
The winning tradition of a vanishing breed

When I think about a man much like myself
Alive in a vacuum alone on a shelf
To never go no place 'till all I got left
Is staring at these lonely walls

[Chorus]
Oh King Richard, just keep up the pace
Your boot in your gas tank your smile on your face
And you'll set the standard time can't erase
And God only knows how you feel

[Verse 2]
If there's life in the fast lane then you wrote the book
But it don't come as easy as you make it look
'Cause a man in his sunshades can't never slow down
With out somebody sneaking round stealing your crown
