Tony Martin - The Last Ride Lyrics

Well I was goin’ to Daytona*
I had my race gear in my pack
When a stranger pulled up beside me
In a stock car colored black
He was dressed like a NASCAR driver
A mustache with mirrored eyes
He said it’s a long walk to Florida
Would you like a ride son?

Well I crawled across the roll cage
Then he fired that Chevy up
And the patch on his sleeve said the man had won
Seven Winston Cups
His eyes was intimidatin’ as hell
As we rode into the night
And I knew there was somethin’ strange
Bout’ this ride

He said: "Boy, can you make fans stand an' scream your name?
"Can you hit 'em in the rear an' grab another gear, still roll into victory lane?"
He said: "Boy, do you know how it feels to run three wide?
"'Cause if you're Daytona-bound, let me warn you, you're in for a ride."

Then he cried when we got to Daytona an' as he pulled onto the track,
An' he said: "This is where you get out boy, 'cause number three ain't comin' back."
As I crawled out of the race car, I said: "Thanks, I'll catch you later."
He said: "It'd be tough catchin' me boy, 'cause I'm The Intimidator."

He said: "Boy, do you make fans stand an' scream your name?
"Can you hit 'em in the rear an' grab another gear, still roll into victory lane?"
He said: "Boy, do you know how it feels to run three wide?
"'Cause if you're Daytona-bound, let me warn you, you're in for a ride."

He said: "Boy, can you make fans stand an' scream your name?
"Can you hit 'em in the rear an' grab another gear, still roll into victory lane?"
He said: "Boy, do you know how it feels to run three wide?
"'Cause if you're Daytona-bound, let me warn you, you're in for a ride."

"If you're Daytona-bound, let me warn you, you're in for a ride."

"You been ridin' with the legend, an' it's a fast ride.".
