Lyrics
Somewhere in south carolina near a dirt track there's a shrine Erected to the memory of a little 'ole friend of mine A natural born dirt dauber, car racing was his game He rolled 'ole number 7 fireball was his name
With the makings of a honker and a roll of bailing wire He tied his hopes together and just set them tracks on fire Three hundred fifty on the hood; a big 7 on each door In his heart a will to win and his right foot on the floor
His motto was a simple one "stand on it and turn left If someone's gonna beat you make him run" All he knew was ???? and always lead the rest Fireball rolled a seven and he won
He took the world 600, the old atlanta 5 Bristol, richmond, nashville, daytona for the ride The hotdogs laid it on him. they'd draft, chart, and sweat But fireball rolled a seven, the kind that's hard to get
He had the pole at darlington; he won it off the rail And he run away at charlotte, 600 miles of hell A slingshot sewed up petty; he was out in front real fast A checkered flag was in the bag; nobody would get past
He was flat out in that back shoot; only 3 laps from the start When he saw a yellow bumper cross up and come apart A rookie and a shaker, runnin' scared and lost it all A hush fell on that crowd; number 7 took the wall
His old skidlid hangs in the hall, the little chargers gone To save a friend he laid it on the line His old poncho is rust and bound, but his memory still lives on Fireball rolled a seven every time Fireball rolled a seven every time
