Drive - Alan Jackson CAPO 4TH fret
Verse 1
F It was painted red,G the stripe was white
It was Feighteen feet from the Fbow to the stern light
F Second hand from a Gdealer in Atlanta
I Frode up with daddy when he Fwent there to get 'er
F Put on a shine Gput on a motor
FBuilt out of love and Fmade for the water
F Ran her for years 'till the Gtransom got rotten
A Fpiece of my childhood that'll Gnever be forgotten
Chorus 1
It wasF just an old plywood Gboat
With a Fseventy-five johnson with Felectric choke
F A young boy two Ghands on the wheel
F I can't replace the way itF made me feel
And I wouldF turn her sharp and I'dG make it wide
And he'dF say you can't beat the way an oldF wood boat rides
F Just a little lake 'cross the DAlabama line
But I was Fking of the oceanG when daddy let meF drive
Verse 2
F Just an old half-ton Gshort bed Ford
My Funcle bought new inF sixty-four
FDaddy got it right 'cause the Gengine was smokin'
FA couple of burnt valvesF and he had her goin'
F He'd let me drive her and we'd Ghaul off a load
Down a Fdirt strip where we'd dump trashF off of Thigpen road
I'd Fsit up in the seat and strech my Gfeet out to the pedals
FSmilin' like a hero that Gjust recieved his medal
Chorus 2
I wasF just an old Ghand-me-down Ford
With a Fthree speed on the column and a Fdent in the door
F A young boy two Ghands on the wheel
I can'tF replace the way itF made me feel
I would Fpress that clutch and I'dG keep it right
And he'd say aF little slower son you're Fdoin' just fine
F Just a dirt road with Dtrash on each side but I was FMario Andretti
G When daddy let meF drive
Verse 3 (follow chords from verses 1 & 2)
I'm grown up now three daughters of my own
I let 'em drive my old jeep 'cross the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
And pull out that old mem'ry and think of me and smile
Chorus 3 (follow chords from Choruses 1 & 2)
And say I was just an old worn out jeep
Rusty old floor boards hot on my feet
A young girl two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say turn it left and steer it right
Straighten up girl now you're doin' just fine
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
But I was high on a mountain when daddy let me drive...
