To most people this is just a piece of paper,

This is a used ticket by the looks

A little beat up and dusty with a few folded corners

Now it hangs on the wall, collecting dust.

I remember when I went to this place

Waking up early each day
Getting home late each night
This weekend was awesome.
The smell of race fuel and burning rubber

The sound of cars speeding into each turn

The vibration as they rubbled past the grandstands

Throwback weekend at Darlington was epic

Now this simple piece of paper, that hangs on my wall

Is a reminder of an awesome weekend

That most wouldn't quite understand.
