[Verse 1]
He’d roll up in that dusty truck
Mud on the tires
Dog in the back
Name on the door
But the man that he was
Meant more than any checkered flag
From the short tracks to the big show nights
Folks cheered when they heard his name
But he was the first one loading water and lights
When the storms came
[Chorus]
Greg Biffle was one of a kind
Heart like a highway
Mile after mile
Gave every lap
Gave every dime
For the broken and the scared and the tired
When Helene tore the roofs off this town
He was there
Boots on the ground
We lost him
And it just don’t seem right
Greg Biffle was one of a kind
[Verse 2]
He’d laugh it off
Say “I’m no saint”
Just a man with some tools and time
But I watched him hold that old man’s hand
Till the rescue line arrived
He hauled kids out in his own two arms
Carried boxes through the rain
Never once asked for a camera or a song
Just showed up again and again
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Now the grandstands stand a little more still
Engines hush in the evening chill
We light candles where the flood waters fell
Tell his stories
Try to tell ‘em well
‘Cause it ain’t just the races he won
It’s the lives he pulled from the dark
His number might be painted on steel
But his name’s written on our hearts
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Headlights off on that old back road
Stars out over the pines
Somewhere he’s leaning on a worn-out hood
Smiling down on this broken time
Greg Biffle was one of a kind
