Oh King Richard

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh King Richard, you rum runner's dream The swiftest of outlaws I've ever seen Your checkered flag waving so high in esteem And no one can catch you at all [Verse 2] So what can you say about the man built for speed? The master mechanic gave you what you need Survival on instinct, a heart that don't bleed The winning tradition of a vanishing breed [Verse 3] 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 [Pedal Steel Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] 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 never slow down With out somebody sneaking 'round stealing your crown [Verse 5] From a dirt track in Charlotte to the Daytona line Your life flying by, you don't even mind The world loves a winner and you've shown 'em all How easy the King gets it done [Chorus] Oh King Richard just look out below Some punk on your bumper, you're running too slow And one day you're old the next thing you know Your races are already run Oh King Richard, man they're tryin' to ditch ya Yeah, but they never can get ya 'Cause you know how to drive [Outro] Oh King Richard, man they're trying to catch ya Yeah, but they never can get ya 'Cause you know how to drive like a fiend Oh King Richard man they're tryin' to ditch you Yeah, but they never can get you You know how to drive Oh King Richard man they're trying to catch ya (Oh they're trying to catch ya) They never can get ya (Never can, never can) You know how to drive Oh King Richard man they're trying to catch ya (Oh King Richard)
