It was painted red the stripe was white[00:00:10]

It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light[00:00:13]

Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta[00:00:17]

I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her[00:00:21]

We put on a shine; put on a motor[00:00:25]

Built out of love made for the water[00:00:28]

Ran her for years til the transom got rotten[00:00:33]

A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten[00:00:36]

It was just on old plywood boat[00:00:39]

With a ′75 Johnson with electric choke[00:00:41]

A young boy two hands on the wheel[00:00:45]

I can′t replace the way it made me feel[00:00:51]

And I would turn her sharp[00:00:55]

And I would make her whine[00:00:57]

He′d say "you can′t beat the way an old wood boat rides"[00:00:59]

Just a little lake across the Alabama line[00:01:04]

But I was king of the ocean[00:01:06]

When daddy let me drive[00:01:09]

Just an old half ton shortbed ford[00:01:18]

My uncle bought new in 6 4[00:01:22]

Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking[00:01:26]

A couple of burnt valves and he had it going[00:01:30]

He let me drive her when we′d haul off a load[00:01:34]

Down a dirt strip where we′d dump trash off of Thigpen Road[00:01:37]

I′d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals[00:01:41]

Smiling like a hero that just received his medal[00:01:45]

It was just an old handdown Ford[00:01:47]

With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door[00:01:52]

A young boy two hands on the wheel[00:01:57]

I can′t replace the way it mode me feel[00:02:01]

And I would press that clutch[00:02:03]

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

And he′d say "a little slower son you′re doing just fine"[00:02:06]

Just a dirt rood with trash on each side[00:02:12]

But I was Mario Andretti[00:02:15]

When daddy let me drive[00:02:16]

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[00:02:41]

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 [00:03:06]

Straighten up girl you′re doing just fine"[00:03:10]

Just a little valley by the river where we′d ride[00:03:15]

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[00:03:29]

Daddy let me drive[00:03:37]

It′s just an old plywood boat[00:03:41]

With a ′75 Johnson with electric choke[00:03:43]
