[Verse 1]
We never saw eye to eye, it’s true,
Raised voices in the kitchen, plates flew.
But Saturday nights, under those lights,
The short track made everything feel alright.
[Chorus]
Round and round, the engines would roar,
We’d cheer together, forget the war.
The smell of tires, the thrill of the race,
Found our peace in that sacred place.
[Verse 2]
I’d slam my door, he’d curse my name,
We were two men lost in a prideful game.
But when the green flag waved, the grudges died,
Side by side, we'd watch those cars fly.
[Chorus]
Round and round, the engines would roar,
We’d cheer together, forget the war.
The smell of tires, the thrill of the race,
Found our peace in that sacred place.
[Bridge]
Now he’s gone, but the track’s still there,
I sit alone in our old folding chair.
The echoes of laughter, the fights we survived,
It’s where I learned to love and feel alive.
[Verse 3]
The fights don’t matter, they fade away,
When I think of those nights and the dirt spray.
He taught me more than he ever knew,
In the roar of the engines, I saw the truth.
