Richard Petty Fans

Before he ever made the headlines

Or won the

Winston cup

He survived his share of crashes

But he never did give up

The tracks in

Carolina Where all the

Pettys ran

What kept the motors running

Way back then, were you the fans

He won seven at

Daytona It was

STP and forty-three

King Richard is a legend

And he's a hero to me

When he wins he waves his hand

To the folks up in the stand

And he is dedicated

To all the

Nascar fans

Well, I wish this year could last forever

But the race must go on

He'll hang up his helmet

But he never will be gone

I know he'll drive forever

In the heart of every fan

And he will be remembered

As the best that's ever been...
