Drive (For Daddy Gene) - Ameritz Tribute Standards (阿莫瑞兹致敬标准)[00:00:00]
It was painted red the stripe was white[00:00:08]
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light[00:00:11]
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta[00:00:16]
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her[00:00:19]
We put on a shine; put on a motor[00:00:24]
Built out of love made for the water[00:00:27]
Ran her for years 'til the transom got rotten[00:00:31]
A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten[00:00:35]
It was just on old plywood boat[00:00:38]
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke[00:00:42]
A young boy two hands on the wheel[00:00:47]
I can't replace the way it made me feel[00:00:50]
And I would turn her sharp[00:00:54]
Make her whine[00:00:56]
He'd say "you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"[00:00:57]
Just a little lake across the Alabama line[00:01:02]
But I was king of the ocean[00:01:05]
When daddy let me drive[00:01:08]
Just an old half ton shortbed ford[00:01:18]
My uncle bought new in '64[00:01:21]
Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking[00:01:26]
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going[00:01:29]
He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load[00:01:33]
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road[00:01:36]
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals[00:01:40]
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal[00:01:44]
It was just an old hand-me-down Ford[00:01:48]
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door[00:01:52]
A young boy two hands on the wheel[00:01:56]
I can¡¦t replace the way it mode me feel[00:02:00]
And I would press that clutch[00:02:03]
And I would keep it right[00:02:05]
And he'd say "a little slower son you're doing just fine"[00:02:07]
Just a dirt road with trash on each side[00:02:12]
But I was Mario Andretti[00:02:15]
When daddy let me drive[00:02:18]
I'm grown up now three daughters of my own[00:02:37]
I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home[00:02:40]
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file[00:02:45]
And pull out that old memory[00:02:48]
And think of me and smile and say[00:02:50]
It was just an old worn out Jeep[00:02:53]
Rusty old floorboard hot on my feet[00:02:56]
A young girl two hands on the wheel[00:03:00]
I can't replace the way it made me feel[00:03:04]
And he'd say "turn it left and steer it right [00:03:07]
Straighten up girl you're doing just fine"[00:03:11]
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride[00:03:16]
But I was high on a mountain[00:03:18]
When daddy let me drive[00:03:22]
When daddy let me drive[00:03:26]
Oh he let me drive[00:03:30]
She was just an old plywood boat[00:03:41]
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke[00:03:44]
