the 2007 goody's cool orange five hundred at martinsville

(to the song “simply irresistible” by robert palmer)



poor robby’s day was miserable

labonte floored his brake pedal - and crashed

brake heat made tires poppable

for blaney, mears, and mayfield

sterling spun out his car after he moved up far

stewart won in go-karts, then sunday fell apart

a loose lugnut dropped him back, and in the end still—

jimmie won at martinsville

jimmie won at martinsville

david stremme spun up the hill - twice

jeff green, a brake fluid refill - it leaked

reutimann broke mechanical

kyle busch, three-wide pass he pulled

hamlin started on top, with jeff gordon he fought

twenty-nine second stop cost that grandfather clock

he led and fought hard all day, but in the end still—

jimmie won at martinsville

jimmie won at martinsville

(jimmie won at martinsville) gordon’s flyin’, but he couldn’t get his chevy through

(jimmie won at martinsville) at the line, johnson cut it real close

yeley and raines were strong until they hit the wall

jarrett spun out late when his loose right-rear fell off

harvick’s fuel pump broke, but for him that was not all

his door foam burnt up and darrell insisted—

(that is just not possible) gordon’s flyin’, but he couldn’t get his chevy through

(that is just not possible) at the line, johnson cut it real close

wha-oh—

(instrumental)

it rained and junior led until

the track dried, and the crowd was thrilled

one-thirty-eight-to-go, the green came out at martinsville - whoo!

take that new clock home, someone will - oh, yeah

most of that april day, gordon’s car showed the way

he slowed down after a marble got in his way

well, “winning” the bear made a run, but wound up second—

(jimmie won at martinsville) gordon’s flyin’, but he couldn’t get his chevy through

(jimmie won at martinsville) at the line, johnson cut it real close

(jimmie won at martinsville) gordon’s flyin’, but he couldn’t get his chevy through

(jimmie won at martinsville) at the line, johnson cut it real close

jimmie won at martinsville!
