Verse
Was painteBd red, the stF#ripe was white,
It was E18 feet from the bow to the stern light.
BSecond hand from a F#dealer in Atlanta,
I Erode up with Daddy when he went there to get her.
BPut on a shine,F# put on the motor,
EBuilt out of love, made for the water.
BRan her for years 'til the F#transom got rotten,
A Epiece of my childhood that'll never be forgotten. It was,
BJust an old F#plywood boat,
With a 'E75 Johnson, with electric choke.
BA young boy, two F#hands on the wheel,
EI can't replace the way it made me feel,
And I would Bturn her sharp and I'd,F# make it whine,
He'd say,E you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides.
AbmJust a little lake across the DbAlabama line,
But I was Eking of the ocean,F# when daddy let me Bdrive.F# E F#
BJust an old half-ton F#short bed Ford,
My Euncle bought it new in '64.
BDaddy got it ridin', 'cause the F#engine was smokin',
ECouple of burnt valves and he had it goin'.
BHe'd let me drive her and we'd F#haul off a load,
Down a Edirt strip where we'd dump trash, off of Thigpen Road.
I'd Bsit up in the seat, and stretch my F#feet out to the pedals,
ESmilin' like a hero that just received his medal. It was,
BJust an old F#hand-me down Ford,
With E3-speed on the column, and a dent in the door.
BA young boy, two F#hands on the wheel,
EI can't replace the way it made me feel,
And I would Bpress that clutch, and I'd F#keep it right,
And he'd say,E a little slower son, you're doin' just fine.
AbmJust a dirt road with Dbtrash on each side,
But I was EMario AndrettiF# when daddy let me Bdrive.
BI'm grown up now, three F#daughters of my own.
I Elet 'em drive my old jeep 'cross the pasture at our home.
BMaybe one day, they'll F#reach back in their file,
And Epull out that old memory, and think of me and smile, and say,
BIt was just an old F#worn out jeep,
With Erusty old floorboards that were hot on my feet.
BA young girl, two F#hands on the wheel,
EI can't replace the way it made me feel,
And he'd say, Bturn it left and F#steer it right,
EStraighten up girl now, you're doin' just fine.
AbmJust a little valley, by the Dbriver where we'd ride,
But I was Ehigh on a mountain,F# when Daddy let me Bdrive.
F#When Daddy let me Edrive. F#
Oh he let me Bdrive.F# E F#
BShe's just an old F#plywood boat,
With a 'E75 Johnson, with electric choke....B
