The skies are cloudy, suspense fills the air..
The crowd is restless, the tension is there...
Everyone awaits for the news to break...
Who will Evernham choose as his mate..
Names are whispered, some off the wall..
We know who it is, we wait for the call..
Bill Elliott appears with his head held high..
The number 9 waves high in the sky..
With a sparkle in his eye, we know right away..
Bill Elliott is the name that rose up today..
With a new era upon us, a new season to come..
Bill Elliott's the man, cause he's number one..
The love and respect felt by his fans..
Earned him the spot, in the Evernham band..
From Dawsonville, Ga. as a bright young man..
Bill had a mission, and it layed in his hands..
When he hit the speedway feeling no fear..
The crowd excepted him with honors and cheers..
Twenty-five years later, Bill still has the spark..
His fans know deep, down in their hearts..
Bill moves to a Dodge, but his name is the same..
The Dodge #9 will be hard to tame..
The Ford was awesome, but it's time for a change..
Coors, Budwiser, and McDonalds, were the names..
He made his mark, and history was made..
Talladega is special, to him too this day..
We all remember what happen that day..
With a speed of 212.809 it won't go away..
He won the First Winston Million, it earned him his name..
The Million Dollar Bill, in Darlington's Victory Lane..
With his determination and never giving up..
Bill was the man who carried Lady Luck..
He went for broke, chasing after his dream..
With his quick thinking, and help from his team
1988 he won his first Championship Cup..
2001 brings us all to a promise, to never give up..
The future is bright, and he's ready to go...
We wait for next year, when he steals the show..
The mighty Dodge will be hitting the track..
With Bill behind it, and not looking back..
Through the good and the bad, we all have our doubts..
The mighty Dodge has bugs to be worked out..
With the support of his fans, Bill will be strong..
He will go out there and prove them all wrong..
From "rattling his cage", to "it's only racin"..
Bill is the one they will be chasin..
So hold on tight, the race is on..
The Dodge Intrepid, has been reborn..
I pledge my support to only one man..
Bill Elliott, "we adore you, you're our # 1 man!"
The Awesome One

Monkey, monkey get off of Bill's back..
Push him to the front, not to the back..
Rev up the engine, and pray it don't blow..
We're really tired of saying Oh God No..
With the roar of the engines, the crowd stands tall..
The green flag waves, it's a long hard haul..
I raise to my feet, my hands in the air..
Pass em Bill, pass em, you will get there..
My heart is pounding, as the sound beats my chest..
I scream and yell cause Bill is the best..
Laps have come, and laps have gone..
I watch Bill closely, as he is movin on..
Ten laps to go, Bill nears the front..
The gleam in his eyes, tells he's on the hunt..
White flag's a commin, with one lap to go..
I feel it in my heart, Bill will steal the show..
The checkered flag is waving, I'm standing on my toes..
I scream to the crowd, watch out there he goes..
I see the Golden Arches burning up the track..
I know Bill is smiling, and not looking back..
We scream we cry, we call out his name..
I can't believe I'm, seeing Bill in VICTORY LANE..
From Loudon to Talladega, California to Martinsville..
You can do it... Cause you are AWESOME BILL
