1
It was painted red
2
It's stripe was white
3
It was 18 feet
4
From the bow to the stern light
5
2nd hand from a dealer in Atlanta
6
I rode up with daddy
7
When he went there to get her
8
Put on a shine
9
Put on a motor
10
Built out of love
11
And made for water
12
Ran it for years
13
Till the transom got rotton
14
A piece of my childhood that'll never be forgotten
15
It was, just an old plywood boat
16
75 johnson with electric choke
17
A young boy, two hands on the wheel
18
I cant replace the way it made me feel
19
And I would turn it shore line, and, make it wide
20
He'd say, ya can't beat the way an old wood boat rides
21
Just a little lake across the Alabama line
22
But I was king of the ocean, when daddy let me drive
23
Just an old 1/2 ton, short-bed Ford
24
My uncle bought new, in '64
25
Daddy got it right
26
Cause the engine was smokin'
27
Couple of burnt valves and he had it goin'
28
He'd let me drive her when we'd haul off a load
29
Down a dirt strip, where we'd dump trash
30
Off of Thickpin Road
31
I would sit on the seat
32
And stretch my feet out to the pedals
33
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
34
It was just an old hand-me-down ford
35
With 3 speed on the column
36
And a dent in the door
37
A young boy, 2 hands on the wheel
38
I can't replace the way it, made me feel
39
And I would press that clutch and I'd keep it right
40
He'd say a lil' slower son you're doin' just fine
41
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
42
But I was Mario Andretti
43
When daddy let me drive
