Drive
Lyricist:Alan Jackson
It was painted red, the stripe was white It was 18 feet from bow to stern light It was 2nd hand, from a dealer in Atlanta I rode up with Daddy when he went there to get her
We put on a shine, put on a border Built out of love, but made for the water We ran her for years, 'til the transim got rotten A piece of my childhood will never be forgotten
It was just an old plywood boat A '75 Johnson, an electric choke A young boy, two hands on the wheel I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would turn her sharp and I would make it wide He'd say, 'You can't be the way, an old wood boat rides Just a little lake across the Alabama line' But I was king of the ocean when Daddy let me drive
Just an old half ton, short bed Ford My Uncle bought new in '64 Daddy got it ridin' 'cause the engine was smoking A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
He'd let me drive her when we haul off a load On a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of thick pin road I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet to the pedals Smiling like a hero who just received his medal
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It was just an old hand-me-down Ford With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door A young boy, two hands on the wheel I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would press that clutch and I would keep it right He'd say, 'Just a little slower son, you're doing just fine' Just a little dirt road with trash on each side But I was Mario Andretti when Daddy let me drive
I'm all grown up now, 3 daughters of my own I let them drive my old jeep across the pasture at our home Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file And pull out that old memory and think of me and smile and say
It was just an old worn out jeep Rusty old four doors, hot on my feet A young girl, two hands on the wheel I can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say, 'Turn it left, and steer it right Straighten up girl, now you're doing just fine' Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride But I was high on a mountain when Daddy let me drive Daddy let me drive Oh he let me drive
She's just old plywood boat with a '75 Johnson And electric choke
