The Man In Black (#3) - by J. Samuelson Copyright2001 02/25

Dedicated to, The Man In Black
Dale, the Intimidator, raced this track
He loved this life, it was his home
Because of him, the sport has grown.

Both loved and hated, either way
He was the best, then and today
The kindest father, a farmer too
He taught Dale Jr. all he knew.

He lived to drive, he never quit
Just wasted time, he said to pit
Ive got to lay the hammer down
And tame these tracks, while Im around.

Seven times, he proved his skill
The Winston Cups, his might and will
He was the master, drafting king
He made that slingshot, everything.

Now hes taken, that last turn four
One last time he hears, the crowds that roar
Theyre shouting three, and win this race
Now he has gone, cant be replaced.

Hell always live here in my heart
The grandest legend, left his mark
He was a hero, one I shall miss
He took the risk, and he knew this.

But never will his memory fade
With all the records he has made
The Man In Black, still is the best
In heaven now, is where hell rest.

So, now Id like to say goodbye
Im sorry Dale, you had to die
My tears still fall because of you
Just one more thing you have to do.

Look down on them, and keep them safe
And watch your son, win one more race
And just remember, on the track
Youll always be, The Man In Black.
