His Life, His Love
He was our bright shining star
Living half his life in the #3 car
When Dale Jr. won the Texas race
You could see te pride upon his face
And as he spoke of Kerry and Kelly
The joy in his voice turned your knees to jelly
Ah yes, there was Teresa and Taylor too
The love for them shining, in those eyes so blue
To one and all he gave his respect
From this man, what more could you expect
He touched everyone for and near
Why god wanted him, not really clear
For those of us, that shed tears
His memory in our heats, we hold dear
With Teresa, he said his last Prayer
Climbed in his car and Stevie's verse was there
In third place, with Mike and Jr. winning the race
God called to him, from his Hallowed Place
Now he's racing in Heaven above
Building a home, waiting for those he loves
