My Drivers in Heaven

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

I'm watching you, Barber !

From racing in the dirt, to the asphalt of today.
Many greats have graced the track before they went away.
Gone but not forgotten, we keep them in our heart
I'm talkin' about the drivers in heaven.

Remember number twenty-eight, carrying on a tradition
Davy always ran like a man on a mission
And I know he's looking down every time an engine starts
Along with all the drivers in heaven. 

They're racing in a better place, where the angels always set the pace
And the good Lord says gentlemen start your engines
You know up there the track is great, the speedways behind those pearly gates
And the stands are always full for the drivers in heaven

From the green flag to the checkered, every driver wins
If Neil Bonnet's in the lead, Dale Earnhardt is closing in
They'll replay Allan's famous victory lap in car number seven
I'm talk'in bout those drivers in heaven
