big burn - daytona 69 lyrics

intro – teddy told me that in greek, “nostalgia” literally means “the pain from an old wound.” it’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. this device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. it goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again

chorus
i’m giving you a night call to tell you how i feel
i want to drive you through the night, down the hills

[verse 1: big burn]
here’s a story of a bad -ss car
not just any car a daytona char
ger now let’s go to the start
and find out why it’s so close to the heart
back in 1980 my dad
scr-ped up every single penny he had
to buy that coveted mean lean
beautifully divine green machine
after that it was years of labor
restoring it back to its prime layers
spent our summers with man named dean
the beginnings of a father and son team
i’ll never forget hurting my knee
after dropping my bike on the street
after countless hours it was complete
and we took it back to neb city

chorus
there’s something inside you
it’s hard to explain
they’re talking about you boy
but you’re still the same

i’m giving you a night call to tell you how i feel
i want to drive you through the night, down the hills

[verse 2: big burn]
went to shows all over the country
kicking -ss, taking names, collecting trophies
transparent trailer for transport
fit so tight you’d almost scratch the door
went to kc & des moines the most
i’ll never forget that treasure trove
of memories, ohh so vividly
not to mention theme park ecstasy
adventureland and worlds of fun
outside all day burnt from the sun
riding the mamba for the first time
making faces in the funny mirror line
trips sadly stopped as time went on
bogged down with adult respon
sibilities, procuring abilities
i’d k!ll to relive those memories

chorus
there’s something inside you
it’s hard to explain
they’re talking about you boy
but you’re still the same

i’m giving you a night call to tell you how i feel
i want to drive you through the night, down the hills

[verse 3: big burn]
september 25th, of ’11
the day’s finally come, it feels like heaven
my dad let me drive the daytona
can’t imagine a more perfect coda
we cruised on down to highway 2
60 degrees a gorgeous afternoon
windows down and hair in the breeze
before u knew it i handed back the keys
i was so proud that i earned his trust
i got to drive the winged mus
cle, life came full circle
for that i’m eternally grateful
i have one last thing i want to say
dad i’ll love you till my dying day
you made me the man i am today
it’s thanks to u and mom i’ll be ok

chorus 2x
there’s something inside you
it’s hard to explain
they’re talking about you boy
but you’re still the same
