the 1979 daytona five hundred

(to the song “i fought the law” by the clash)



white flag’s out, it’s the - last one!

don-nie and cale led, but - they both spun

up in turn three, they sure - hit a ton

that late wreck en-ded both of - their great runs

king rich-ard’s first, wal-trip’s - in sec-ond

watch cale take on both the - al-i-sons!

pole-si-tter ba-ker’s eng-ine - ex-plo-ded

next year, he’d have more fun

tighe scott and geoff bo-dine both - made a bid

don-nie and cale led, but - they both spun

up in turn three, they sure - hit a ton

both cale and donnie spun out - ear-ly on

then climbed up back in front

fin-al lap sling-shot turned out - ve-ry wrong

don-nie and cale led, but - they both spun

up in turn three, they sure—

(More Ken Squier over instrumental)
“There’s a fight - between Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison! The tempers - overflowing, they’re angry, they know they have lost. And what a bitter defeat.”

don-nie and cale led, but - they both spun

up in turn three, they sure - hit a ton

king rich-ard’s first, wal-trip’s - in sec-ond

watch cale take on both the - al-i-sons!
