THE INTIMIDATOR

					Words & Music by Cliff Darby

	V.1)	HE WAS BORN IN NORTH CAROLINA 49 YEARS AGO
		A REBEL BOY WHOSE GREATEST JOY
		WAS BURNIN' RUBBER DOWN AN OLD BRICK ROAD
		IN A BIG BLOCK BREAK-AWAY CHEVROLET
		THE LOCAL BOYS FEARED TO DRAG
		'CAUSE THEY KNEW OL' DALE WOULD GIVE IT HELL
		TO CAPTURE THAT CHECKERED FLAG

	V.2)	WELL, HE DREAMED AT NIGHT OF N.A.S.C.A.R.
		HAD A VISION OF VICTORY LANE
		AND HE PAID HIS DUES IN THE DUST AND SWEAT
		JUST A-MAKIN' HIMSELF A NAME
		SOME CALLED HIM A DANGER, OTHERS CALLED HIM A SAINT
		ONE THING'S FOR SURE, HE'D BE GONE IN A BLUR
		AND HE DIDN'T MIND TRADIN' PAINT
			
	C.)	WELL,  THEY CALLED HIM, THE INTIMIDATOR
		HE'S A ONE OF A KIND AND THEY'LL NEVER BE AN IMITATER
		HE'LL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST
		AND HIS FANS WILL ALL AGREE
		#3 WILL ALWAYS BE, #1 TO ME

	V,3)	YOU KNOW HE WON HIS FIRST IN BRISTOL, TALLEDEGA,
		THEN ROCKINGHAM 					
		AND HE SHOWED US ALL, WHEN YOU PUT THE PEDAL TO THE
		METAL
		IT SEPARATES BOYS FROM MEN
		"GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES"
		WAS ALL IT TOOK FOR HIM TO HEAR
		THEN HE'D GIVE US THAT GRIN AND SLIP ON HIS SHADES
		AND THE CROWD WENT WILD AND CHEERED
				
	V.4)	WE WERE WATCHIN' HIM IN DAYTONA
		AS HE ROUNDED THE FINAL BEND
		SAND HE LOST HIS LIFE ON THE LAST LEFT TURN
		TRYIN' TO GIVE HIS TEAM THE WIN
		THERE COULD ONLY BE ONE REASON, HE'S NOT STILL ALIVE
		GOD'S SPONSORING A RACE CAR
		THAT ONLY DALE EARNHARDT COULD DRIVE!!

			C.)	REPEAT,  TAG,  END.
