Talladega Chords

[Intro]
 
C G Em D x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
            C                G
It was the summer before the real world started and,
   Em         D
The deal was we would get to go, if we
C             G
Cleaned it up, and got it running,
  Em            D
Daddy's old Winnebago.
 
 C                  G
Wing and a prayer down 65,
 Em                    D
Five best friends on four bald tires,
        C              G
I can still see Billy smiling
                 D
When we finally made it.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        C         G
To Talladega, boys raised up,
 Em              D
Whiskey in your glass, 
          C            G
here's to turning up, slowing down 
    Em               D
and cars that go real fast,
         C                   G
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,
     Em               D                  C
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
                   D
Sure would like to stay in, 
        C G Em D
Talladega.
 
 
[Verse]
 
C              G
Like a storm, time rolls on,
      Em              D
You can't hit pause as we just did.
C                 G
Most days in life don't stand out,
      Em               D
But life's about those days that will, like,
 
C             G
Rocking rando, getting rowdy,
Em              D             C
Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon,
           G             D
til the Alabama sun was breaking.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         C         G
Over Talladega, boys raised up,
 Em              D
Whiskey in your glass, 
          C            G
here's to turning up, slowing down 
    Em               D
and cars that go real fast,
         C                   G
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,
     Em               D                  C
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
                   D
Sure would like to stay in, 
        C G Em D C G Em D
Talladega.
 
 
[Verse]
 
    C
When the winds go cold and it blows October,
    C
I think about us shoulder to shoulder,
    C
Like those cars my thoughts roll over and over and over,
         D
In my mind
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                    C         G
Tonight i'm in Talladega, boys raised up,
 Em              D
Whiskey in your glass, 
          C            G
here's to turning up, slowing down 
    Em              D
and cars that go real fast,
         C                   G
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,
     Em               D                  C
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
                   D
Sure would like to stay in, 
        C G Em D
Talladega.
