They kissed goodbye at the pitroad gate
She said you're gonna be late if you don't go
He held her tight, said I'll be alright
I'll meet you later in victory lane.
That day He'd bought a postcard, on the front it just said heaven
With a picture of Daytona and the beach
And the simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her and they told her,
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near, I wish you could see me race
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's racing time all year. And there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello,
"I miss you so, wish you were here"
She got a call that day, but it wasn't from him
It didn't sink in right away.
"Teresa, his car crashed the wall"
Our crews did all they could
Dale died today she heard him say
But somehow she got a postcard,
in the mail
That just said heaven,
with a picture of Daytona and the beach
And the simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her and they told her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near, I wish you could see me race
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's racing time all year, and there's some folks we know
Neil says, "Hello".
"I miss you so, wish you were here"
The weather's nice, in paradise
It's racing time all year, and there's some folks we know
Dad says, "Hello".
"I miss you so, wish you were here"
