Johnathan East That Ole Ford Truck
Daddy bought it new back in ’69, said he got a real
good deal
I use to sit up in his lap when I was four years old
And, he’d let me take the wheel, we’d drive on down the
dirt road
And, Lord I felt so free, when I turned sixteen, it put
a tear in my eye
When he gave that truck to me.
(1st Chorus)
And, I’d go riding through town with the windows rolled
down and Bocephus on the radio
With a full tank of gas, I was spinning out fast,
everywhere I’d go
It’s broke down a time or two, and a few times it’s
been stuck
But, I wouldn’t trade nothing in the world for that ole
Ford truck.
Tammy Johnson was the Homecoming Queen, back in ‘98
We used to drive down to the river on Friday night,
kick back on my tailgate
Take her racing on the weekends, just to make a little
cash
And she’d slide in the middle seat next to me there,
with her bare feet on the dash.
(2nd Chorus)
And, I’d go riding through town with the windows rolled
down and Tom Petty on the radio
With a full tank of gas, I was spinning out fast,
everywhere I’d go
It’s broke down a time or two, and a few times it’s
been stuck
But, I wouldn’t trade nothing in this world for that
ole Ford truck.
Sometimes, when I’m driving, well, I can and see her
now and then
And, I feel that same sweet freedom, just like I’m
there again.
(3rd Chorus)
And, I’d go riding through town with the windows rolled
down, Lynyrd Skynyrd on the radio
With a full tank of gas, I was spinning out fast,
everywhere I go
It’s broke down a time or two, and a few times it’s
been stuck
But, I wouldn’t trade nothing in the world for that ole
Ford,
Wouldn’t trade nothing in the world for that ole Ford,
I’m still riding around in that ole Ford truck.
