From The Intimidator
Well Lord,
This
ain't quite what I expected.
Didn't know I'd be leaving this way.
And if you don't mind, Lord,
Just got a couple
of things I must say.
Please help to ease their heartache,
And let them feel that I'll always be near,
That I'm reaching
a hand down from Heaven,
And I'll help to dry their tears.
Please be sure they know I was blessed.
This was all that
I wanted to do,
To drive my heart out on those ovals.
It was the only thing that I knew.
Lord, please help my remarkable
fans,
To find pleasure again at the track.
I know that they'll never forget me,
And it's okay to look forward AND
back.
Lord, watch over the ones that booed me.
They just wanted their heroes to win.
I admired their unwavering loyalty.
I
know what it meant, and their boos made me grin.
Lord, keep safe the other drivers,
When they strap on their helmets
to race.
I loved and respected and fought 'em.
In my life's story each has a place.
Lord, bless those at Nascar,
DEI and RCR,
In the spotlight and behind the scenes,
My friends who were like my family,
And helped me fulfill all
my dreams.
Lord, soothe the hearts of Mom, my brothers and
sisters.
They're all a part of the man I became.
Give
a big kiss to my grandbaby,
Who won't know me but will know my name.
Lord, I'll miss Kerry and Kelley.
I know I wasn't
always there.
When I was young I made some mistakes, Lord.
And that is my cross to bear.
Make sure they know how
my heart sang,
And swelled to know they were mine.
They each have their own special talents,
And I know that they'll
both be just fine.
Lord, please help guide Dale Jr.
I didn't know when I gave him that name,
How the legacy would
snowball,
And that he'd be pressured to live up to my fame.
Please let him be his own man, Lord.
He is like me but
so different too.
Let him know that I'll always be proud, Lord,
Of what he accomplishes and chooses to do.
Lord,
please cradle my Taylor Nicole,
Too young really to lose her Dad.
My baby, my beauty, my precious, my joy,
My 'fountain
of youth', I might add.
Lord, please be gentle with Teresa,
My lovely, incredible wife,
And help her to be strong
and go on, Lord.
You know that she was my life.
We are soulmates and she completed me.
She kept my drive and ambition
on fire.
And together every step of the way,
We forged our own empire.
I can't wait to see Daddy and Neil,
Maybe
do some huntin' and fishin'.
Have you got a track or two up here?
And a car that needs work on the transmission?
I
guess that's about it then, Lord.
We're not meant to understand your ways.
I thank you for my time, no one could have
asked for
more,
And I'm ready for my life's next phase. |
