Lyrics

[ti:Drive]
[ar:Alan Jackson]
[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
