     They call him the king , for every race that he won

     Passed down from his daddy  then on to his son

     Drivin to win , was the mission he was on

     There he goes again, the 43 is No. 1

 

Legends aren’t made, they’re born and bread

From family,  of drivers pushing the edge

In a sport built on,  just the challenge of speed

We all came to know the number forty-three

From 1958 to 92 -- Emblazing the glory of red and Petty blue

 

     They call him the king , for every race that he won

     Passed down from his daddy  then on to his son

     Drivin to win , was the mission he was on

     There he goes again, the 43 is No. 1

 

The nicest man to a NASCAR fan,

The King led his way thru tracks across the land.

Thru flips and flames, of the incredible crashes

Always pushing thru, driving MOPAR the fastest

From 1958 to 92 -- Emblazing the glory of red and baby blue

 

     They call him the king , for every race that he won

     Passed down from his daddy  then on to his son

     Drivin to win , was the mission he was on

     There he goes again, the 43 is No. 1

 

          Taking Daytona and making it his

          Driving into history on the 4th of July on 200 wins

 

 

     They call him the king , for every race that he won

     Passed down from his daddy  then on to his son

     Drivin to win , was the mission he was on

     There he goes again, the 43 is No. 1

 

There he goes again, the 43 is No. 1
