Daddy’s Cup

[00:00:00] Daddy's Cup - Drive-By Truckers

[00:00:18] Before I could walk I had a wrench in my hand

[00:00:22] I was my mama's little angel and my daddy's second chance

[00:00:26] He went end over end the first year he went pro

[00:00:30] Lost part of his eyesight and he couldn't race no more

[00:00:39] He never lost his touch when he got underneath the hood

[00:00:43] He knew how to make them run

[00:00:45] He knew one day he would see

[00:00:47] His name in victory lane and engraved on that cup

[00:00:50] Just like all them other crazy fools with racing in their blood

[00:01:00] He would put me on his lap

[00:01:01] When he'd drive and I'd take the wheel

[00:01:04] He'd say what do you think about that son how does she feel

[00:01:08] You just wait till them little legs get long enough to reach the gas

[00:01:11] Once you put her on the floor one time there ain't no turning back

[00:01:23] Every Saturday he'd take me out to the garage

[00:01:27] He'd take an empty bucket and fill it full of engine parts

[00:01:31] He's sit me down and pour em out in front of me on the floor

[00:01:35] I'd have to tell him what each one was and what each one was for

[00:01:44] We'd jump into the car and go down to the race that night

[00:01:48] He'd tell me what each driver was doing wrong and what each one did right

[00:01:52] He could always pick the winner before they ever took a curve

[00:01:55] 3 might have the car but 43 has got the nerve

[00:02:05] Before I turned 18 daddy said now pretty soon

[00:02:08] You'll be old enough to drive but I'll leave it up to you

[00:02:13] I taught you all about it taught you everything I know

[00:02:16] You gotta have a car to do it

[00:02:18] And you gotta work and buy your own

[00:02:59] The first one I bought was a mustang 2

[00:03:03] Nobody kept 'em any longer than they kept a pair of shoes

[00:03:08] They started showing up at every used car lot in town

[00:03:11] A v-8 on a go-cart easy terms no money down

[00:03:20] Me and daddy and my uncle took her home and tore her down

[00:03:24] Checked her out real good cleaned her up and bored her out

[00:03:28] Took out all the seats pulled the carpet off the floor

[00:03:32] Knocked out all the glass and welded up the doors

[00:03:41] The first time that I raced my qualifying was a shame

[00:03:45] I started out way in the back and came back about the same

[00:03:49] I pulled her in the pit couldn't look my daddy in the eye

[00:03:52] He said if you quit now son it's gonna haunt you all your life

[00:03:59] It ain't about the money or even being 1

[00:04:03] You gotta know when it's all over you did the best you could've done

[00:04:07] Knowing that it's in you and you never let it out

[00:04:11] Is worse than blowing any engine or any wreck you'll ever have

[00:04:20] Since then I've wrecked a bunch of cars and I've broke a bunch of bones

[00:04:24] It's anybody's race out there and I've learned to race my own

[00:04:28] I'd shove em in the wall and I'd hit em from behind

[00:04:31] I'd let them know that I was there

[00:04:33] I'd let them know that track was mine

[00:04:41] It's been several years now since my daddy passed away

[00:04:44] But his picture's on my dash every time I go to race

[00:04:48] I lost more than I won but I ain't gonna give up

[00:04:52] Till they put me in the ground or daddy's name's on that cup
