| [00:11.04] | It was painted red the stripe was white |
| [00:14.49] | It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light |
| [00:18.77] | Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta |
| [00:22.05] | I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her |
| [00:26.57] | We put on a shine; put on a motor |
| [00:29.86] | Built out of love, made for the water |
| [00:34.02] | Ran her for years, til the transom got rotten |
| [00:37.39] | A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten |
| [00:40.31] | It was just on old plywood boat |
| [00:42.28] | With a ′75 Johnson with electric choke |
| [00:46.76] | A young boy two hands on the wheel |
| [00:52.85] | I can′t replace the way it made me feel |
| [00:56.99] | And I would turn her sharp |
| [00:58.92] | And I would make her whine |
| [01:01.00] | He′d say, "you can′t beat the way an old wood boat rides" |
| [01:05.98] | Just a little lake across the Alabama line |
| [01:07.64] | But I was king of the ocean |
| [01:10.85] | When daddy let me drive |
| [01:13.50] | |
| [01:19.93] | Just an old half ton shortbed ford |
| [01:23.09] | My uncle bought new in 6 4 |
| [01:27.44] | Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking |
| [01:31.00] | A couple of burnt valves and he had it going |
| [01:35.38] | He let me drive her when we′d haul off a load |
| [01:38.62] | Down a dirt strip where we′d dump trash off of Thigpen Road |
| [01:41.89] | |
| [01:42.53] | I′d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals |
| [01:46.39] | Smiling like a hero that just received his medal |
| [01:48.93] | It was just an old handdown Ford |
| [01:54.00] | With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door |
| [01:58.37] | A young boy two hands on the wheel |
| [02:02.11] | I can′t replace the way it mode me feel |
| [02:04.36] | And I would press that clutch |
| [02:05.58] | And I would keep it right |
| [02:07.88] | And he′d say, "a little slower son you′re doing just fine" |
| [02:13.62] | Just a dirt rood with trash on each side |
| [02:16.44] | But I was Mario Andretti |
| [02:17.20] | When daddy let me drive |
| [02:36.97] | |
| [02:38.79] | I′m grown up now three daughters of my own |
| [02:42.11] | I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home |
| [02:46.27] | Maybe one day they′ll reach back in their file |
| [02:49.65] | And pull out that old memory |
| [02:51.47] | And think of me and smile and say |
| [02:54.38] | It was just an old worn out Jeep |
| [02:57.18] | Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet |
| [03:01.16] | A young girl two hands on the wheel |
| [03:05.41] | I can′t replace the way it made me feel |
| [03:07.42] | And he′d say, "turn it left and steer it right, |
| [03:11.65] | Straighten up girl, you′re doing just fine" |
| [03:16.84] | Just a little valley by the river where we′d ride |
| [03:19.43] | But I was high on a mountain |
| [03:23.02] | When daddy let me drive |
| [03:27.19] | When daddy let me drive |
| [03:29.89] | |
| [03:30.73] | Oh he let me drive |
| [03:38.72] | Daddy let me drive |
| [03:39.71] | |
| [03:42.55] | It′s just an old plywood boat |
