I run this muddy track on these big old shaky wheels With numbers on my back and a helmet on my head. I drive around in circles and they call me "Crazy Ed". I drive. That's how I stay alive. I just like how it feels.
I've got a batch of children and a drop-dead gorgeous wife. She puts up with me when I leave to tinker on that wreck. And all week long I'm trucking, gone, to earn an honest check. And still she cheers for me each Sunday while I risk my life.
Someday I'll hang that helmet on the hook there by the door, And toss away this mud-caked suit with "92" on back. I'll give that gorgeous wife of mine a kiss, and *****-whack, Then play around (in circles!) with my Kids there on the floor.
This, in Memory of my Father, and for all those other Racing Dads...
