Daytona 499 Lyrics – Luke Combs

[Verse 1]
There we were, coming ’round the bend
One lap away from checkers in the wind
Turn one, turn two, two three
They never saw nothing like you and me
Down on the inside, laid in the pack
Your hand on my knee, my foot on the gas
Making moves upfront, everybody was rooting for us

[Chorus]
We could’ve been Earnhardt in that three car
Down in victory lane

Standing on a hood whip, that good ranch
Wasting good champagne
We could’ve been burning out instead of burning out
Before that finish line
But we were Daytona 499

[Verse 2]
Had a hell of a lead, had it running good
The whole grandstand was thinking we would
Takе the whole thing home
Yеah, girl, we were good as gone
Looking back now, we were moving too fast
Had plenty good times, not enough gas
The part that hurts the most
Is that, girl, we were so damn close

[Chorus]
We could’ve been Earnhardt in that three car
Down in victory lane
Standing on a hood whip, that good ranch
Wasting good champagne
We could’ve been burning out instead of burning out
Before that finish line
But we were Daytona 499

[Bridge]
Yeah, we could’ve been Earnhardt in that three car
Just like ’98

[Chorus]
Standing on a hood whip, that good ranch
Wasting good champagne
We could’ve been burning out instead of burning out
Before that finish line
But we were Daytona 499

[Outro]
499
