It was painted red

The stripe was white
It was eighteen feet
From the how

To the stern IighIl
Second he nd

From 0 dealer
In Atlanta

I rode up with daddy
When he went there
To get her
We put on 0 shine and
Put on a motor

Built ouifa love
And mode

For the wa ter
Ran her for years

Till the transom
Got rotten
A piece of my child hood

Thafll never be forgoHen,
It was
Just on old plywood boat

With a '75 Johnson
With electric choke
A young boy

Two hands on he wheel

I can't replace 1he way if
Made me feel and I would
Turn her sharp and I'd
Make it whine he'd say
You can't beat the way
An old wood boot rides
But I was king
Of the ocean

When daddy let me

D rive
Just an old haIf-fon

Shoribed Ford

My uncle bought new
In '64
Couple- a burnt v0 Ives

And he

Had it goin'
He'd let me drive her
When we'd haul 0H 0 load
Down a dirt strip

Where we'd dump trash
CH of Thig pen road
Just an old
Hand-me-down Ford

With ihree-speed
On the column
And a dent in the door
A young boy

Two hands on he wheel

I can't replace 1he way if
Made me feel and I would
Press that clutch and I'd
Keep it rightL he'd say

A lime slower son
You're doin' just fine
Just a dirt road
With trash on each side

Buf I was
Ma rio Andrefii
(Instrumental Break)
I'm grown up now
Three daughters
Of my own
Maybe one day

They'll reach back
In their file
It was iusi on old
Worn-ouf ieep

Rusty old floorboards

Hot on my feet
A young girl
Two hands on the wheel

I can't replace the way if

Made me feel
And he'd say
Turn it left and
Steer if rightL

Straighten up girl now
You're doin' just fine
Just a Iiflle valley
By the river

Where we'd ride
But I was high
On a mountain
When daddy let me

D rive

When daddy let me

Drive oh he let me
Drive
She's iusf
An old plywood boat

With a '75 Johnson
With electric choke
