| [00:09.04] | It was painted red the stripe was white |
| [00:12.48] | It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light |
| [00:16.77] | Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta |
| [00:20.04] | I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her |
| [00:24.57] | We put on a shine;put on a motor |
| [00:27.86] | Built out of love,made for the water |
| [00:32.02] | Ran her for years,til the transom got rotten |
| [00:35.38] | A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten |
| [00:38.30] | It was just on old plywood boat |
| [00:40.27] | With a ′75Johnson with electric choke |
| [00:44.76] | A young boy two hands on the wheel |
| [00:50.85] | I can ′t replace the way it made me feel |
| [00:54.98] | And I would turn her sharp |
| [00:56.91] | And I would make her whine |
| [00:58.99] | He ′d say,'you can ′t beat the way an old wood boat rides' |
| [01:03.98] | Just a little lake across the Alabama line |
| [01:05.63] | But I was king of the ocean |
| [01:08.85] | When daddy let me drive |
| [01:17.93] | Just an old half ton shortbed ford |
| [01:21.09] | My uncle bought new in 64 |
| [01:25.44] | Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking |
| [01:29.00] | A couple of burnt valves and he had it going |
| [01:33.37] | He let me drive her when we ′d haul off a load |
| [01:36.62] | Down a dirt strip where we ′d dump trash off <-147>of Thigpen Road |
| [01:40.52] | I ′d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals |
| [01:44.39] | Smiling like a hero that just received his medal |
| [01:46.93] | It was just an old handdown Ford |
| [01:51.99] | With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door |
| [01:56.37] | A young boy two hands on the wheel |
| [02:00.10] | I can ′t replace the way it mode me feel |
| [02:02.36] | And I would press that clutch |
| [02:03.57] | And I would keep it right |
| [02:05.88] | And he ′d say,'a little slower son you ′re doing just fine' |
| [02:11.62] | Just a dirt rood with trash on each side |
| [02:14.43] | But I was Mario Andretti |
| [02:15.19] | When daddy let me drive |
| [02:36.78] | I ′m grown up now three daughters of my own |
| [02:40.11] | I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home |
| [02:44.27] | Maybe one day they ′ll reach back in their file |
| [02:47.65] | And pull out that old memory |
| [02:49.46] | And think of me and smile and say |
| [02:52.37] | It was just an old worn out Jeep |
| [02:55.18] | Rusty old floorboard,hot on my feet |
| [02:59.16] | A young girl two hands on the wheel |
| [03:03.41] | I can ′t replace the way it made me feel |
| [03:05.41] | And he ′d say,'turn it left and steer it right, |
| [03:09.64] | Straighten up girl,you ′re doing just fine' |
| [03:14.84] | Just a little valley by the river where we ′d ride |
| [03:17.42] | But I was high on a mountain |
| [03:21.02] | When daddy let me drive |
| [03:25.19] | When daddy let me drive |
| [03:28.73] | Oh he let me drive |
| [03:36.71] | Daddy let me drive |
| [03:40.55] | It ′s just an old plywood boat |
| [03:42.91] | With a ′75Johnson with electric <-2>choke |
