We've got a family tradition here
That's been around for 50 years
A long bloodline getting longer
Running harder and racing stronger
Lee Petty drove with pride
When his son Richard pulled along beside
How could he have ever known
That that young man would hold the throne?
These traditions sure run deep
From the drivers to the fans in the seats
It's a common prayer that we all keep
Passed down from father to son
Little slice of America
These traditions sure run deep
Ned Jarrett, now there's a name
What a man for the hall of fame
Did it ever enter his mind
He'd be calling the race when Dale crossed the line?
The Allisons, what a legacy
They made their place in history
Makes you wonder how high he'd have climbed
If Davey could have had a little more time
These traditions sure run deep
From the drivers to the fans in the seats
It's a common prayer that we all keep
Passed down from father to son
Little slice of America
These traditions sure run deep
There's no doubt
There's a lot of high expectations
Of carrying on the hopes and dreams
To the next generation
These traditions sure run deep
From the drivers to the fans in the seats
It's a common prayer that we all keep
Passed down from father to son
Little slice of America
These traditions sure run deep
These traditions sure run deep
