Drive (for Daddy Gene) - The Country Dance Kings (乡村舞王)[00:00:00]

It was painted red the stripe was white[00:00:08]

It was 18 feet from the bow to stern light[00:00:11]

Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta[00:00:16]

I rode up with daddy[00:00:19]

When he went there to get her[00:00:21]

We put on a shine put on a motor[00:00:23]

Built out of love and made for the water[00:00:27]

Ran her for years til'[00:00:31]

The transom got rotten[00:00:32]

A piece of my childhood[00:00:34]

Will never be forgoten[00:00:36]

It was just an old plywood boat[00:00:38]

With a 75 Johnson with electric choke[00:00:42]

A young boy two hands on the wheel[00:00:46]

I can't replace the way it made me feel[00:00:50]

And I would turn her sharp[00:00:53]

And I would make it whine[00:00:55]

He'd say "You can't beat[00:00:57]

The way a old wood boat rides"[00:00:59]

Just a little lake cross the Alabama line[00:01:02]

But I was king of the ocean[00:01:04]

When Daddy let me drive[00:01:08]

Just an old half ton short bed ford[00:01:17]

My Uncle bought new in 64[00:01:20]

Daddy got it right cause[00:01:24]

The engine was smoking[00:01:26]

A couple of burnt valves[00:01:28]

And he had it going[00:01:30]

He'd let me drive her[00:01:32]

When we haul off a load[00:01:33]

Down a dirt strip where we'd dump[00:01:35]

Trash off of Thigpen Road[00:01:37]

I'd sit up in the seat and[00:01:39]

Stretch my feet out to the pedels[00:01:41]

Smiling like a hero who[00:01:43]

Just received his medal[00:01:45]

It was just an old hand me down ford[00:01:47]

With 3 speed on the column[00:01:51]

And a dent in the door[00:01:53]

A young boy two hands on the wheel[00:01:55]

I can't replace the way[00:01:59]

It made me feel and[00:02:01]

I would press that clutch[00:02:02]

And I would keep it right[00:02:04]

He would say a little slower son[00:02:06]

Your doing just fine[00:02:08]

Just a dirt road with[00:02:10]

Trash on each side[00:02:12]

But I was Mario Andretti[00:02:13]

When Daddy let me drive[00:02:17]

I'm grown up now[00:02:35]

3 daughters of my own[00:02:37]

I let them drive my old jeep[00:02:39]

Across the pasture at our home[00:02:40]

Maybe one day they'll[00:02:43]

Reach back in their file[00:02:44]

And pull out that old memory[00:02:46]

And think of me and smile[00:02:48]

And say[00:02:50]

It was just an old worn out jeep[00:02:51]

Rusty old floor boards[00:02:54]

Hot on my feet[00:02:56]

A young girl two hands on the wheel[00:02:58]

I can't replace the way[00:03:02]

It made me feel[00:03:04]

And he'd say[00:03:05]

Turn it left and steer it right[00:03:06]

Straighten up girl now [00:03:09]

You're doing just fine[00:03:11]

Just a little valley[00:03:13]

By the river where we'd ride[00:03:15]

But I was high on a mountain[00:03:16]

When Daddy let me drive[00:03:20]

Daddy let me drive[00:03:24]

Oh he let me drive[00:03:27]

It's just an old plywood boat[00:03:39]

With a 75 johnson[00:03:42]

And electric choke[00:03:44]
