Southern Boys and Detroit Wheels - Ronnie Milsap, Billy Gibbons

Hear that dixie thunder roaring

Through those blue ridge hills

Haulin' that white lightning from

A neighbor’s moonshine still

Carolina to Daytona they

Gave us all a thrill

That’s how it all got started

Southern boys and Detroit wheels

Shade tree mechanics changin'

Oil and fixin' flats

They could pull a motor yeah

And change it just like that

The magic in their fingers

The talent and the will

A winning combination

Southern boys and Detroit wheels

The Pettys and The Allisons

Among the chosen few

They went from the back roads

To making front page news

Born to chase a dream and

Bound to lead the field

They make my world go round

Southern boys and Detroit wheels

Oh I miss Ol' Dale Earnhardt

Number three riding high

Pedal to the metal man

He could really fly

Two things you gotta have

A heart of gold and nerves of steel

Racing’s in their blood

Southern boys and Detroit wheels

The Pettys and The Allisons

Among the chosen few

They went from the back roads

To making front page news

Born to chase a dream and

Bound to lead the field

They make my world go round

Southern boys and Detroit wheels

Yeah a winning combination

Southern boys and Detroit wheels
