February 18th, 2001, I woke to bright, shining sun I stretched: I smiled and began to relax For today I'd be back on the racetrack The Daytona 500 will be such fun The first race of a season just begun With Ole #3 and me ready to run My DEI boys will be there too We'll all race under the skies of blue Today we've raced hard, long and fast Me and the boys having a blast I looked up ahead and what did I see Mike and Dale Jr. in front of Ole #3 With pride and joy, my eyes full of tears I thought to myself, I'd keep the track clear The first race, the first win, with me covering their rear Race on boys, it's your show; you've only got a mile to go I felt a bump, I slipped, I turned, but wait, this can't be For on the wall were Davey, Dad and Neil waiting for me I smilled and shed a tear; still I knew no fear Even though I knew, I would be leaving all I held dear Copyright 2001 Evelyn Adams February 18, 2001 |
