GECEDEEmEAE
GIt was painted red Dthe stripe was white
It was eCighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
GSecondhand from a Ddealer in Atlanta
I Crode up with daddy when he went there to get her
GWe put on a shine; Dput on a motor
CBuilt out of love, made for the water
GRan her for years, 'Dtil the transom got rotten
A Cpiece of my childhood that will never be forgotten
GIt was just on old Dplywood boat
With a 'C75 Johnson with electric choke
GA young boy two Dhands on the wheel
I Ccan't replace the way it made me feel
And I would tGurn her sharp
And I would mDake her whine
He'd say, "Cyou can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"
EmJust a little lake across the AAlabama line
But I was Cking of the ocean
DWhen daddy let me GdriveD C D
GJust an old half ton Dshortbed ford
My Cuncle bought new in '64
GDaddy got it right 'cause the Dengine was smoking
A Ccouple of burnt valves and he had it going
GHe let me drive her when we'd Dhaul off a load
Down a Cdirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
GI'd sit up in the seat and stretch my Dfeet out to the pedals
CSmiling like a hero that just received his medal
GIt was just an old Dhand-me-down Ford
With a Cthree-speed on the column and a dent in the door
GA young boy two Dhands on the wheel
I Ccan't replace the way it mode me feel
And I would Gpress that clutch
And I would Dkeep it right
And he'd say, "Ca little slower son you're doing just fine"
JEmust a dirt rood with trAash on each side
But I was CMario Andretti
DWhen daddy let me Gdrive
DCDGDCD
GI'm grown up now three dDaughters of my own
I Clet them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
GMaybe one day they'll Dreach back in their file
And Cpull out that old memory
And think of me and smile and say
GIt was just an old Dworn out Jeep
CRusty old floorboard, hot on my feet
A Gyoung girl two Dhands on the wheel
CI can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say, "Gturn it left and Dsteer it right,
CStraighten up girl, you're doing just fine"
JEmust a little valley by tAhe river where we'd ride
But I was Chigh on a mountain
DWhen daddy let me Gdrive
DWhen daddy let me Cdrive
Oh he let me Gdrive
DDaddy let me Cdrive D
GIt's just an old Dplywood boat
With a 'C75 Johnson with electric choke
