The Intimidator circling the track
Not knowing that he wouldn't be back
Not wanting to win, just having fun
Not knowing that he would soon be done.
As he circles the track with Michael and Dale Jr. ahead
Not knowing that he would soon be dead
The crowd was excited when they saw him pass by
Now they can't watch him, now all he does is lie.
A crash, a boom, and then some cries
As they look into the Intimidator's eyes
He has gone to heaven to face
God and a long lasting race.
NASCAR fans facing the mess
Knowing that he was to lie down and rest
In a grave with no more races
Now all we see is crying faces.
Dale Sr. watches with concern and aw
Now knowing that they all saw
The crash shows the man he was and always will be
A racer and hero to so many, can't you see.
He died doing what he loved and that matters to all of us
Keep his legacy, that's a must
Just because he died doesn't mean to give up
Keep your chin high and and go to the NASCAR cup.
He went to heaven's gate
As St. Peter said "you're late"
But he did not care bout the time or place
He died in his final race.
God hands him a flag and says "race on"
The final race was not suppose to go wrong
Keep on racing and show your creator
That you are and always will be the INTIMIDATOR.
