Lyrics

[Verse 1]
First time I saw you in the grandstands
Your baseball cap and cutoff jeans
Engine roar was shaking the bleachers
But your smile was all I could see
The flags were waving, crowds were racing
To find their spots along the fence
But I was frozen in that moment
When you looked right back at me
[Pre-chorus]
The countdown's starting
My heart's departing
From everything I used to know
[Chorus]
Your love hits me like that Sunday thunder
Got me spinning right round, going under
Can't tell if it's my heart or engines pound
When you're standing on this sacred ground
Baby, your love hits me like that Sunday thunder
(Like that Sunday thunder)
[Verse 2]
You knew every stat and every driver
Could call each turn before it came
Said your daddy raised you trackside
Now you're teaching me the game
The air fills up with burning rubber
As we're sitting side by side
Your hand finds mine, time stops running
On this wild Kentucky ride
[Pre-chorus]
The speed is rising
No compromising
This feeling taking control
[Chorus]
Your love hits me like that Sunday thunder
Got me spinning right round, going under
Can't tell if it's my heart or engines pound
When you're standing on this sacred ground
Baby, your love hits me like that Sunday thunder
(Like that Sunday thunder)
[Breakdown]
[Sound of engines revving]
The crowd stands up
The world goes quiet
Just you and me
And forty-three dreams flying by
[Final Chorus]
Your love hits me like that Sunday thunder
Got me spinning right round, going under
Can't tell if it's my heart or engines pound
When you're standing on this sacred ground
Baby, your love hits me like that Sunday thunder
(Like that Sunday thunder)
(Like that Sunday thunder)
