Alan Jackson- Drive Taylor, Eric, Nikki
Lyrics It was painted red, the stripe was white.It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light.Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta,I rode up with Daddy when he went there to get her.We put on a shine; an' put on a motor;Built out of love, made for the water.Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten;A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten.It was just an old plywood boat.With a '75 Johnson with electric choke.A young boy, two hands on the wheel.I can't replace the way it made me feel.And I would turn her sharp,And I would make it whine.He'd say: "You can't beat the way an old wood boat rides."Just a little lake across the Alabama line,But I was king of the ocean,When Daddy let me drive.Just an old half-ton shortbed Ford,My uncle bought new in '64.Daddy got it right, 'cause the engine was smokin':A couple of burnt valves and he had it goin'.He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load,Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road.I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals,Smilin' like a hero that just received his medal. It was just an old hand-me-down Ford,With three-speed on the column and a dent in the door.A young boy, two hands on the wheel.I can't replace the way it made me feel.And I would press that clutch,And I would keep it right.And he'd say: "A little slower, son, you're doing just fine."Just a dirt road with trash on each side,But I was Mario Andretti,When Daddy let me drive.I'm grown up now, three daughters of my own.I let them drive my old jeep across the pasture at our home.Maybe one day, they'll reach back in their file,And pull out that old memory,And think of me, and smile, and say:"It was just an old worn out jeep,"Rusty old floorboards, hot on my feet."A young girl, two hands on the wheel."I can't replace the way it made me feel."And he'd say: 'Turn it left and steer it right,"'Straighten up girl, now, you're doing just fine.'"Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride,"But I was high on a mountain,"When Daddy let me drive."When daddy let me drive.Oh, he let me drive.She's just an old plywood boat,With a '75 Johnson with electric choke.
Description To us, this song is about a young boy talking about his first car and the drive and how he felt, Than the song turns and he is talking about how it felt taking his daughter for her first drive.

  • 2. Lyrics It was painted red, the stripe was white.It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light.Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta,I rode up with Daddy when he went there to get her.We put on a shine; an' put on a motor;Built out of love, made for the water.Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten;A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten.It was just an old plywood boat.With a '75 Johnson with electric choke.A young boy, two hands on the wheel.I can't replace the way it made me feel.And I would turn her sharp,And I would make it whine.He'd say: "You can't beat the way an old wood boat rides."Just a little lake across the Alabama line,But I was king of the ocean,When Daddy let me drive.Just an old half-ton shortbed Ford,My uncle bought new in '64.Daddy got it right, 'cause the engine was smokin':A couple of burnt valves and he had it goin'.He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load,Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road.I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals,Smilin' like a hero that just received his medal. It was just an old hand-me-down Ford,With three-speed on the column and a dent in the door.A young boy, two hands on the wheel.I can't replace the way it made me feel.And I would press that clutch,And I would keep it right.And he'd say: "A little slower, son, you're doing just fine."Just a dirt road with trash on each side,But I was Mario Andretti,When Daddy let me drive.I'm grown up now, three daughters of my own.I let them drive my old jeep across the pasture at our home.Maybe one day, they'll reach back in their file,And pull out that old memory,And think of me, and smile, and say:"It was just an old worn out jeep,"Rusty old floorboards, hot on my feet."A young girl, two hands on the wheel."I can't replace the way it made me feel."And he'd say: 'Turn it left and steer it right,"'Straighten up girl, now, you're doing just fine.'"Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride,"But I was high on a mountain,"When Daddy let me drive."When daddy let me drive.Oh, he let me drive.She's just an old plywood boat,With a '75 Johnson with electric choke.
