Keal Franklin - The Day Dale Earnhardt Died Lyrics

It was February eighteenth
O' one as I recall
I was watching the race on TV
When the three car hit the wall
I felt a sinking feeling
Lord, It hit me deep inside
And America lost a hero
The day Dale Earnhardt died
Seems like every day now
There's a brand new tragedy
We've had falling towers and endless wars
And there's panic in the streets
That big old yellow caution flag
Is waving in the sky
We've been racing towards the bottom
Since the day Dale Earnhardt died
Now Everybody's living
In a bubble of their own
We're swapping paint on the highway
It's like Bristol with a phone
And your opinion about the weather
Could get you penalized
As far as I can tell it all blew to hell
The day Dale Earnhardt died
At night I dream about the day
That we can all just get along
And learn to love and live in peace
Like one big happy home
But everything around us
Has become so polarized
That old devil has been driving
Since The day Dale Earnhardt died
Now we're all busy living out
Our own reality
Where Up is down and left is right
If that's what you choose to be
Lord, I ain't passing judgement
And I don't mean to criticize
But our history's been a mystery
Since the day Dale Earnhardt died
We lost more than a legend
The day Dale Earnhardt died
