    TITLE: Rapid Roy (the Stock Car Boy)
    Lyrics and Chords


    {Refrain}
    Oh Rapid Roy that stock car boy, he too much too believe
    You know he always got an extra pack of cigarettes rolled up in his T-shirt sleeve
    He got a tattoo on his arm that say "Baby", he got another one that just say "Hey"
    But every Sunday afternoon he is a dirt track demon in a '57 Chevrolet

    / E - A E / A E F# B / E E7 A F# / E F#7 B E /

    Oh Rapid Roy that stock car boy, he's the best driver in the land
    He say that he learned to race a stock car by runnin' shine outa Alabam'
    Oh the Demolition Derby and the Figure Eight is easy money in the bank
    Compared to runnin' from the man in Oklahoma City with a 500 gallon tank

    {Refrain}

    Yeah Roy so cool, that racin' fool he don't know what fear's about
    He do a hundred thirty mile an hour smilin' at the camera with a toothpick in his mouth
    He got a girl back home name of Dixie Dawn, but he got honeys all along the way
    And you oughta hear 'em screamin' for that dirt track demon in a '57 Chevrolet

    {Refrain}
    (Tim P. Ryan)
