the 1991 goody's five hundred at martinsville

(to the song “return to sender” by elvis presley)




mis-ter sep-tem-ber

mis-ter sep-tem-ber

do you re-mem-ber when har-ry gant

spun at mar-tins-ville late

(and) ben-ny said, “too bad he can’t

to-day win his fourth straight”? (then hand-some har-ry)

with-out a fen-der

re-took the lead

took the check-ers

four straight weeks

do-ver and rich-mond

and dar-ling-ton

plus three busch rac-es

at the age of just fif-ty-one

strapped on some bungees the next pit stop

on har-ry’s skoal ban-dit

olds-mo-bi-le looked beat-up

but that team would-n’t quit (good thing they did-n’t)

mis-ter sep-tem-ber

re-took the lead

took the check-ers

four straight weeks

gant did-n’t win a fifth, but came near

his brake sys-tem would-n’t move

but at mich-i-gan - the ve-ry next year

(he won) at age fif-ty-two (a-no-ther rec-ord!)

mis-ter sep-tem-ber

re-took the lead

took the check-ers

four straight weeks

mis-ter sep-tem-ber

with-out a fen-der

mis-ter sep-tem-ber

with-out a fen-der—
