Race day, my favorite day of the week
All my friends think I'm a nascar freak
I watch the races whenever they are on
I guess that's why I'm singing this nascar song
Every driver wants that checkered flag
If they wreck it's gonna be a drag
Every driver wants to be goin' fast
Because if you ain't first, then you're last

I love to watch my driver run the track
When he makes his move forward in the pack
I get so excited when my driver's in the lead
Some folks say it's nascar that I bleed
Every driver wants that checkered flag
If they wreck it's gonna be a drag
Every driver wants to be goin' fast
Because if you ain't first, then you're last

Now my driver has fallen in the pack
I bet my banjo, the lead he will get back
I wish I had my own nascar race car
But I bet in a race I wouldn't really get that far
Every driver wants that checkered flag
If they wreck it's gonna be a drag
Every driver wants to be goin' fast
Because if you ain't first, then you're last

Nascar is my favorite motor sport
Some of my friends aren't happy about this report
When I watch the races I always smile
I can watch those nascar's race for miles
Every driver wants that checkered flag
If they wreck it's gonna be a drag
Every driver wants to be goin' fast
Because if you ain't first, then you're last
