Kyle Petty, Son of Richard Lyrics

Heat is rising
Feeling high and I’m on my way
Tell me if you wanna take a hit
Right beside you
I came to fight so get out of my way
‘Cause Daddy told me don’t you ever
Take no fucking shit


So get it right
I’m gonna get to you


Laughing As I spit your way
Faster that a fucking flash of light
Stomach’s burning alcohol
I must have burned
A bottle full
And you ain’t got a chance
in Hell tonight


So get it right
I’m gonna get you


A thousand miles of chicken wire
A foot of lead
Daddy didn’t raise no fucking fools
coming up on your right
coming up on your right
No one is going to fuck with
Me tonight


So get it right
I’m gonna get to you

Interesting. Didn't know that Chris Cornell was a NASCAR fan. And I haven't heard this song yet; so I'll have to check it out. The lyrics are pretty interesting though.

i think this song doesnt mean hes a NASCAR fan, it sounds pretty mocking to me. i think he is just writing this song about a type of person, maybe with a rich dad whose got connections, someone who was raised to think there meant to be something and that no one can stop them. overly assertive people you know. i hate those types, i am really unassertive... pretty much.

Richard Petty was one of the world reknowned NASCAR driving greats, and his son Kyle would always be known merely as the son of a great man - no matter what he achieved on the the race track.

The song is about having a name/title to live up to before you're even born

I saw Soundgarden five days before Chris Cornell committed suicide, last Friday night 5/12/17 outside of Omaha. This was the second song they played. Chris said that this song was about having to have an asshole of a dad in Richard Petty.

I think its pretty AWESOME!!! Matt is driving the beat, just listen to the guitars trying to compete.

This is a find, WOW. Its freaking hard.

The studio version of this song sucks. Get the live rendition and turn it up loud. Don't know where you can find it without p2p.

There are luckily 2 studio versions available. Find the "Brenden O'Brien Remix" and you're better off. But yeah, the Self Pollution Radio version is also excellent.
