Written by Eric Church and Luke Laird. Produced by Jay Joyce. Released in February 2014 by EMI Records Nashville.

It was the summer before the real world started and,
The deal was we would get to go,
If we cleaned it up and got it running,
Daddy's old Winnebago.

Wing and a prayer down 65,
Five best friends on four bald tires,
I can still see Billy smiling
When we finally made it...to

Chorus:
Talladega,
Boys raise the
Whiskey in your glass
Here's to turning up, slowing down
And cars that go real fast,
We were laughing and living,
Drinking and wishing,
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
Sure would like to stay in,
Talladega.

Like a stone, time rolls on,
You can't hit pause
That's just the deal
Most days in life don't stand out,
But life's about those days that will
Like Rockin' Randall getting rowdy,
Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon til the
Alabama sun was breaking...Over

Chorus:
Talladega,
Boys raise the
Whiskey in your glass
Here's to turning up, slowing down
And cars that go real fast,
We were laughing and living,
Drinking and wishing,
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
Sure would like to stay in,
Talladega.

When the winds grows cold and it blows October,
I think about us shoulder to shoulder,
Like those cars, my thoughts roll over and over and over,
In my mind. tonight...
I'm in

Chorus:
Talladega,
Boys raise the
Whiskey in your glass
Here's to turning up, slowing down
And cars that go real fast,
We were laughing and living,
Drinking and wishing,
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
Sure would like to stay in,
Talladega.

Talladega, Talladega
Talladega, Talladega
