William Clyde "Bill" Elliott (born October 8, 1955), also known as Awesome Bill from Dawsonville or Million Dollar Bill, is a part-time driver and former champion of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Elliott was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America on August 15, 2007. He won the 1988 NASCAR Winston Cup Series Championship and has garnered 44 wins in that series. He had two Daytona 500 victories, and a record four consecutive wins at Michigan International Speedway during 1985-86. He holds the track record for fastest qualifying speed at Talladega at 212.809 mph and Daytona International Speedway at 210.364 mph Both of these were set in 1987. The mark at Talladega is the fastest speed for any NASCAR event ever.
Elliott won NASCAR's Most Popular Driver Award 16 times, a record. He withdrew his name from the ballot for that award after winning it in 2002. In 2005, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue declared October 8 as Bill Elliott Day in the state of Georgia.[citation needed] Elliott has also been honored by the state legislature, having a stretch of road in his native Dawsonville renamed Elliott Family Parkway. Elliott was born in Dawsonville, Georgia.

Genres: Mystery,All I wanna do
Is play all night for you
If the system blows the fuse
It ain't gonna make the national news
My old man says where you
Gonna go you can't go far
Said I'm going downtown to
See some rock and roll
Can I borrow your friends car
I listen to the radio
What good from the show
One night in town
I wanna be around
To hear the band say
All I wanna do
Is rock and roll with you
If the system blows the fuse
It ain't gonna make the national news
Then she took off her shoes
And she said to the stars
It gotta be the dress
But the sullen little thing
With the big idea and the backstage pass
There's nothing she won't do
To have her way with you
It's gotta be tonight
Cause tomorrow I'm gone
So you hear what I say
All I wanna do
Is play all night for you
All I wanna do
Is play all night for you
