| [00:08.380] | It was painted red the stripe was white |
| [00:11.880] | It was 18 feet from the bow to stern light |
| [00:15.950] | Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta |
| [00:19.200] | I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her |
| [00:23.820] | We put on a shine put on a motor |
| [00:27.130] | Built out of love and made for the water |
| [00:31.200] | Ran her for years til＇ the transom got rotten |
| [00:34.630] | A piece of my childhood will never be forgoten |
| [00:38.070] | It was just an old plywood boat |
| [00:42.200] | With a 75 Johnson with electric choke |
| [00:46.570] | A young boy two hands on the wheel |
| [00:50.380] | I can＇t replace the way it made me feel |
| [00:53.510] | And I would turn her sharp |
| [00:56.200] | And I would make it whine |
| [00:58.820] | He＇d say ＇＇You can＇t beat the way a old wood boat rides ＇＇ |
| [01:02.630] | Just a little lake cross the Alabama line |
| [01:04.880] | But I was king of the ocean |
| [01:08.070] | When Daddy let me drive |
| [01:17.320] | Just an old half ton short bed Ford |
| [01:20.570] | My Uncle bought new in 64 |
| [01:24.630] | Daddy got it right ＇cause the engine was smoking |
| [01:28.700] | A couple of burnt valves and he had it going |
| [01:32.630] | He＇d let me drive her when we haul off a load |
| [01:35.820] | Down a dirt strip where we＇d dump trash off of Thickpen Road |
| [01:38.760] | I＇d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels |
| [01:43.550] | Smiling like a hero who just received his medal |
| [01:47.170] | It was just an old hand me down Ford |
| [01:51.180] | With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door |
| [01:55.550] | A young boy two hands on the wheel |
| [01:59.240] | I can＇t replace the way it made me feel and |
| [02:02.430] | I would press that clutch |
| [02:04.860] | And I would keep it right |
| [02:06.490] | He would say a little slower son |
| [02:08.490] | Your doing just fine |
| [02:10.800] | Just a dirt road with trash on each side |
| [02:13.800] | But I was Mario Andretti |
| [02:17.130] | When Daddy let me drive |
| [02:36.000] | I＇m grown up now |
| [02:37.500] | Three daughters of my own |
| [02:39.250] | I let them drive my old jeep |
| [02:41.070] | Across the pasture at our home |
| [02:43.630] | Maybe one day they＇ll reach back in their file |
| [02:46.750] | And pull out that old memory |
| [02:48.070] | And think of me and smile |
| [02:50.250] | And say |
| [02:51.750] | It was just an old worn out jeep |
| [02:54.500] | Rusty old floor boards |
| [02:56.500] | Hot on my feet |
| [02:58.810] | A young girl two hands on the wheel |
| [03:02.500] | I can＇t replace the way it made me feel |
| [03:05.560] | And he＇d say |
| [03:06.630] | ＇＇Turn it left and steer it right |
| [03:08.880] | Straighten up girl now you＇re doing just fine ＇＇ |
| [03:14.070] | Just a little valley by the river where we＇d ride |
| [03:17.380] | But I was high on a mountain |
| [03:19.810] | When Daddy let me drive |
| [03:24.370] | Daddy let me drive |
| [03:28.000] | Oh he let me drive |
| [03:39.820] | It＇s just an old plywood boat |
| [03:43.310] | With a 75 johnson |
| [03:46.190] | And electric choke |
