Songs Title:drive (for daddy gene)[00:00:02]
It was painted red the stripe was white[00:00:08]
It was 18 feet from the bow to stern light[00:00:12]
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 and made for the water[00:00:27]
Ran her for years til' the transom got rotten[00:00:31]
A piece of my childhood will never be forgoten [00:00:35]
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[00:00:47]
I can't replace the way it made me feel[00:00:50]
And I would turn her sharp[00:00:54]
And I would make it whine[00:00:56]
He'd say ''You can't beat the way a old wood boat rides ''[00:00:59]
Just a little lake cross the Alabama line[00:01:03]
But I was king of the ocean[00:01:05]
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[00:01:21]
Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking[00:01:25]
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going[00:01:29]
He'd let me drive her when we haul off a load[00:01:33]
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thickpen Road[00:01:36]
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels[00:01:39]
Smiling like a hero who just received his medal [00:01:44]
It was just an old hand me down Ford[00:01:47]
With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door[00:01:51]
A young boy two hands on the wheel[00:01:56]
I can't replace the way it made me feel and[00:01:59]
I would press that clutch[00:02:03]
And I would keep it right[00:02:05]
He would say a little slower son[00:02:07]
Your doing just fine[00:02:09]
Just a dirt road with trash on each side[00:02:11]
But I was Mario Andretti[00:02:14]
When Daddy let me drive [00:02:17]
I'm grown up now[00:02:36]
Three daughters of my own[00:02:38]
I let them drive my old jeep[00:02:39]
Across the pasture at our home[00:02:41]
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file[00:02:44]
And pull out that old memory[00:02:47]
And think of me and smile[00:02:48]
And say [00:02:50]
It was just an old worn out jeep[00:02:52]
Rusty old floor boards[00:02:55]
Hot on my feet[00:02:57]
A young girl two hands on the wheel[00:02:59]
I can't replace the way it made me feel[00:03:03]
And he'd say[00:03:06]
''Turn it left and steer it right[00:03:07]
Straighten up girl now you're doing just fine ''[00:03:09]
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride[00:03:14]
But I was high on a mountain[00:03:17]
When Daddy let me drive [00:03:20]
Daddy let me drive [00:03:24]
Oh he let me drive [00:03:28]
It's just an old plywood boat[00:03:40]
With a 75 johnson[00:03:43]
And electric choke[00:03:46]
