Drive(For Daddy Gene)
It was painted red the stripe was white
- It was painted red the stripe was white
- It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
- Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
- I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
- We put on a shine; put on a motor
- Built out of love made for the water
- Ran her for years til the transom got rotten
- A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten
- It was just on old plywood boat
- With a ′75 Johnson with electric choke
- A young boy two hands on the wheel
- I can′t replace the way it made me feel
- And I would turn her sharp
- And I would make her whine
- He′d say "you can′t beat the way an old wood boat rides"
- Just a little lake across the Alabama line
- But I was king of the ocean
- When daddy let me drive
- Just an old half ton shortbed ford
- My uncle bought new in 6 4
- Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking
- A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
- He let me drive her when we′d haul off a load
- Down a dirt strip where we′d dump trash off of Thigpen Road
- I′d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
- Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
- It was just an old handdown Ford
- With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
- A young boy two hands on the wheel
- I can′t replace the way it mode me feel
- And I would press that clutch
- And I would keep it right
- And he′d say "a little slower son you′re doing just fine"
- Just a dirt rood with trash on each side
- But I was Mario Andretti
- When daddy let me drive
- I′m grown up now three daughters of my own
- I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
- Maybe one day they′ll reach back in their file
- And pull out that old memory
- And think of me and smile and say
- It was just an old worn out Jeep
- Rusty old floorboard 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 you′re doing 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
- When daddy let me drive
- Oh he let me drive
- Daddy let me drive
- It′s just an old plywood boat
- With a ′75 Johnson with electric choke
