In the middle of night, when they should have both been sleepin',
They were checkin' out the engine of their homemade [A] custom car.
[D] All the people in the town called him two young foolish dreamers,
For he'd taken that old set of [A] wheels and gave it [D] a carry-part.
They were gettin' vinyl crutches on the digs they planted,
And they'd been agitatin' on the top of that old stock car that they'd [A] named the Jimbo Lee.
And [D] they knew that they'd be ready in the morning at the fairgrounds
For the race that no one thought they'd [A] ever win, [D] including me.
But a dream [C] don't die when [G] there's fire in a young [D] man's eye,
[C] And only [G] blind people achieve [A] this dream.
But [D] that dream [C] takes hold, [G] it's worth its [D] weight in [C] gold,
And [G] they believe in the General Lee.

All the cars were lining up on the dirt track by the grandstand,
Every big-time hot-shot driver asked,
I'll find a team [A] on the team.
[D] Then some million-dollar loudmouth in a Shelby GT Corsa said,
You boys ain't got a chance, but you were the [A] best you've ever [D] seen.
But a dream [C] don't die when [G] there's fire in a [D] young man's eye,
[C] And only [G] blind people achieve [A] this dream.
[D] But that dream takes [C] hold, [G] it's worth [D] its weight in gold,
[C] And they [G] believe in the [C] General Lee.
[G]
[D] General Lee, [C] [D] General Lee.
As they flew around the track, trying to jog it for position,
You could see the gravels flying, you could hear the engines [A]
whine.
Then [D] the whole crowd stood together, cheering for the young foolish dreamer
At the General Lee Deep Corridor, [A]
across the [D] finish line.
But a dream [C] don't die when [G] there's fire in a young [D] man's eye,
[C] And only [G] blind people achieve [A] this dream.
