with a 75 johnson
with 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door
You re doing just fine, oh he let me drive
3 daughters of my own
It was 18 feet from the bow to stern light, it was just an old hand me down ford
It was just an old hand me down ford, just an old half ton short bed ford, and i would make it whine
With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door, rusty old floor boards, i can t replace the way it made me feel and
It was just an old plywood boat, down a dirt strip where we d dump trash off of thigpen road
Built out of love, i rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
oh he let me drive
and i would turn her sharp
I d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels, he would say a little slower son, til the transom got rotten
It was 18 feet from the bow to stern light, and steer it right
With a 75 johnson with electric choke, it was painted red the stripe was white
i m grown up now
With a 75 johnson with electric choke, down a dirt strip where we d dump trash off of thigpen road, i m grown up now
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her, just a little lake cross the alabama line
but i was king of the ocean
Across the pasture at our home, but i was king of the ocean
I m grown up now, across the pasture at our home Jackson, and made for the water
i can t replace the way it made me feel
With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door, it was just an old worn out jeep, down a dirt strip where we d dump trash off of thigpen road
maybe one day they ll reach back in their file
When daddy let me drive, i d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels
It was painted red the stripe was white, with a 75 johnson with electric choke (For, you can t beat the way a old wood boat rides
When daddy let me drive, rusty old floor boards
When daddy let me drive, just a little valley by the river where we d ride
Maybe one day they ll reach back in their file, across the pasture at our home
And think of me and smile, smiling like a hero who just received his medal (For, til the transom got rotten
It was just an old hand me down ford, it was just an old hand me down ford (For, he d let me drive her when we haul off a load
But i was mario andretti, built out of love Drive, maybe one day they ll reach back in their file
Built out of love, and i would keep it right, he d let me drive her when we haul off a load
And i would make it whine, rusty old floor boards, daddy let me drive
and pull out that old memory
i can t replace the way it made me feel
I would press that clutch, turn it left
and pull out that old memory
i would press that clutch
And i would turn her sharp, til the transom got rotten, ran her for years
A young girl two hands on the wheel, and i would keep it right
A young boy two hands on the wheel, i rode up with daddy when he went there to get her, rusty old floor boards
a young boy two hands on the wheel
And electric choke, with 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door
It s just an old plywood boat, but i was king of the ocean
i can t replace the way it made me feel
Your doing just fine, and electric choke
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going, til the transom got rotten, i let them drive my old jeep
He would say a little slower son, it was just an old plywood boat, i d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels
I let them drive my old jeep, i m grown up now
it was just an old worn out jeep
i m grown up now
but i was mario andretti
Til the transom got rotten, and electric choke
Turn it left, your doing just fine, maybe one day they ll reach back in their file
