southern boys and detroit wheels

Singer:milsap, ronnie

hear that dixie thunder roaring through those blue ridge hills

haulin' that white lightning from a neighbor's moonshine still

carolina to daytona they gave us all a thrill

that's how it all got started southern boys and detroit wheels

shade tree mechanics changin' oil and fixin' flats

they could pull a motor yeah

and change it just like that

the magic in their fingers

the talent and the will

a winning combination

southern boys and detroit wheels

the pettys and the allisons among the chosen few

they went from the back roads to making front page news

born to chase a dream and bound to lead the field

they make my world go round

southern boys and detroit wheels

oh i miss ol' dale earnhardt number three riding high

pedal to the metal man he could really fly

two things you gotta have

a heart of gold and nerves of steel

racing's in their blood

southern boys and detroit wheels

the pettys and the allisons among the chosen few

they went from the back roads to making front page news

born to chase a dream and bound to lead the field

they make my world go round

southern boys and detroit wheels

yeah a winning combination

southern boys and detroit wheels
