            C                G
It was the summer before the real world started and
   Em         D
The deal was we would get to go, if we
C             G
Cleaned it up, and got it running
  Em            D
Daddy's old Winnebago

 C                  G
Wing and a prayer down 65
 Em                    D
Five best friends on four bald tires
        C              G
I can still see Billy smiling
                 D
When we finally made it

        C         G
To Talladega, boys raised up
 Em              D
Whiskey in your glass
          C            G
Here's to turning up, slowing down
    Em               D
And cars that go real fast
         C                   G
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing
     Em               D                  C
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving
                   D
Sure would like to stay in
        C  G  Em  D
Talladega

C              G
Like a storm, time rolls on
      Em              D
You can't hit pause as we just did
C                 G
Most days in life don't stand out
      Em               D
But life's about those days that will, like

C             G
Rocking rando, getting rowdy
Em              D             C
Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon
           G             D
Til the Alabama sun was breaking

         C         G
Over Talladega, boys raised up
 Em              D
Whiskey in your glass
          C            G
Here's to turning up, slowing down
    Em               D
And cars that go real fast
         C                   G
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing
     Em               D                  C
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving
                   D
Sure would like to stay in

Talladega

    C
When the winds go cold and it blows October
    C
I think about us shoulder to shoulder
    C
Like those cars my thoughts roll over and over and over
         D
In my mind

                    C         G
Tonight i'm in Talladega, boys raised up
 Em              D
Whiskey in your glass
          C            G
Here's to turning up, slowing down
    Em              D
And cars that go real fast
         C                   G
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing
     Em               D                  C
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving
                   D
