Lyrics
Catchin? up with NASCAR (One Horse at a Time)
Lyrics ©Adam Beverly, 2005
Music ©Adam Beverly, 2005
Verse 1
Well it?s Happy hour at my pitstop
I?m watching Kenny and Kyle race the clock
And man, what I wouldn?t do
To take a lap or two
They?re running 500 horses under every hood
And if I got the chance, man, you know I would
Just ease the pedal down
Just to race the roundy-round
Chorus
But I got one horse in my weedeater
And 100 in the wife?s grocery-getter
And I race 3 wild stallions evertime I mow the lawn
I got 235 in my Chevy truck
Now that?s a big chunk so with a little luck
The 80 in my Harley will draw the line
And I?ll be catching up with NASCAR, one horse at a time
Verse 2
Now they got racin? cams in almost every car
Sometimes it looks so real I end up grabbin the bar
And then I lean back in my stool
And try to play it off real cool
Now I'm dreamin up plans for my debut
And I figure out quick what I?m gonna do
I?ll round every horse I?ve got
And find the NASCAR trade-em-in-lot
Chorus
But I got one horse in my weedeater
And 100 in the wife?s grocery-getter
And I race 3 wild stallions evertime I mow the lawn
I got 235 in my Chevy truck
Now that?s a big chunk so with a little luck
The 80 in my Harley will draw the line
And I?ll be tradin? in for NASCAR, one horse at a time
Bridge
So I run home to tell my wife
She says, ?Something in your math just don?t sound right.?
The way SHE figures I?m only up to 419
With that black flag I go back to my pit
Now I?m just shy of throwing a fit
But there ain?t nothing that will keep me from my dream
Verse 3
I?m thinking headers on my hedger, a blower on my mower
And a little fishing boat with a great big motor
And I?ll be on my way
To Talladega Super Speedway!
Chorus
But I got one horse in my weedeater
And 100 in the wife?s grocery-getter
And I race 3 wild stallions evertime I mow the lawn
I got 235 in my Chevy truck
Now that?s a big chunk so with a little luck
The 80 in my Harley will draw the line
And I?ll be catching up with NASCAR, one horse at a time
