Generate meaning
1
It was painted red, the stripe was white
2
It was 18 feet from bow to stern light
3
It was 2nd hand, from a dealer in Atlanta
4
I rode up with Daddy when he went there to get her
5
We put on a shine, put on a border
6
Built out of love, but made for the water
7
We ran her for years, 'til the transim got rotten
8
A piece of my childhood will never be forgotten
9
It was just an old plywood boat
10
A '75 Johnson, an electric choke
11
A young boy, two hands on the wheel
12
I can't replace the way it made me feel
13
And I would turn her sharp and I would make it wide
14
He'd say, "You can't be the way, an old wood boat rides
15
Just a little lake across the Alabama line"
16
But I was king of the ocean when Daddy let me drive
17
Just an old half ton, short bed Ford
18
My Uncle bought new in '64
19
Daddy got it ridin' 'cause the engine was smoking
20
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
21
He'd let me drive her when we haul off a load
22
On a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of thick pin road
23
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet to the pedals
24
Smiling like a hero who just received his medal
25
It was just an old hand-me-down Ford
26
With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door
27
A young boy, two hands on the wheel
28
I can't replace the way it made me feel
29
And I would press that clutch and I would keep it right
30
He'd say, "Just a little slower son, you're doing just fine"
31
Just a little dirt road with trash on each side
32
But I was Mario Andretti when Daddy let me drive
33
I'm all grown up now, 3 daughters of my own
34
I let them drive my old jeep across the pasture at our home
35
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
36
And pull out that old memory and think of me and smile and say
37
It was just an old worn out jeep
38
Rusty old four doors, hot on my feet
39
A young girl, two hands on the wheel
40
I can't replace the way it made me feel
41
And he'd say, "Turn it left, and steer it right
42
Straighten up girl, now you're doing just fine"
43
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
44
But I was high on a mountain when Daddy let me drive
45
Daddy let me drive
46
Oh he let me drive
47
She's just old plywood boat with a '75 Johnson
48
And electric choke
