Daddy's Cup - Drive-By Truckers[00:00:00]

Before I could walk I had a wrench in my hand[00:00:18]

I was my mama's little angel and my daddy's second chance[00:00:22]

He went end over end the first year he went pro[00:00:26]

Lost part of his eyesight and he couldn't race no more[00:00:30]

He never lost his touch when he got underneath the hood[00:00:39]

He knew how to make them run[00:00:43]

He knew one day he would see[00:00:45]

His name in victory lane and engraved on that cup[00:00:47]

Just like all them other crazy fools with racing in their blood[00:00:50]

He would put me on his lap[00:01:00]

When he'd drive and I'd take the wheel[00:01:01]

He'd say what do you think about that son how does she feel[00:01:04]

You just wait till them little legs get long enough to reach the gas[00:01:08]

Once you put her on the floor one time there ain't no turning back[00:01:11]

Every Saturday he'd take me out to the garage[00:01:23]

He'd take an empty bucket and fill it full of engine parts[00:01:27]

He's sit me down and pour em out in front of me on the floor[00:01:31]

I'd have to tell him what each one was and what each one was for[00:01:35]

We'd jump into the car and go down to the race that night[00:01:44]

He'd tell me what each driver was doing wrong and what each one did right[00:01:48]

He could always pick the winner before they ever took a curve[00:01:52]

3 might have the car but 43 has got the nerve[00:01:55]

Before I turned 18 daddy said now pretty soon[00:02:05]

You'll be old enough to drive but I'll leave it up to you[00:02:08]

I taught you all about it taught you everything I know[00:02:13]

You gotta have a car to do it[00:02:16]

And you gotta work and buy your own[00:02:18]

The first one I bought was a mustang 2[00:02:59]

Nobody kept 'em any longer than they kept a pair of shoes[00:03:03]

They started showing up at every used car lot in town[00:03:08]

A v-8 on a go-cart easy terms no money down[00:03:11]

Me and daddy and my uncle took her home and tore her down[00:03:20]

Checked her out real good cleaned her up and bored her out[00:03:24]

Took out all the seats pulled the carpet off the floor[00:03:28]

Knocked out all the glass and welded up the doors[00:03:32]

The first time that I raced my qualifying was a shame[00:03:41]

I started out way in the back and came back about the same[00:03:45]

I pulled her in the pit couldn't look my daddy in the eye[00:03:49]

He said if you quit now son it's gonna haunt you all your life[00:03:52]

It ain't about the money or even being 1[00:03:59]

You gotta know when it's all over you did the best you could've done[00:04:03]

Knowing that it's in you and you never let it out[00:04:07]

Is worse than blowing any engine or any wreck you'll ever have[00:04:11]

Since then I've wrecked a bunch of cars and I've broke a bunch of bones[00:04:20]

It's anybody's race out there and I've learned to race my own[00:04:24]

I'd shove em in the wall and I'd hit em from behind[00:04:28]

I'd let them know that I was there[00:04:31]

I'd let them know that track was mine[00:04:33]

It's been several years now since my daddy passed away[00:04:41]

But his picture's on my dash every time I go to race[00:04:44]

I lost more than I won but I ain't gonna give up[00:04:48]

Till they put me in the ground or daddy's name's on that cup[00:04:52]
