Chevy and Daddy
He was 5 a.m., flannel shirt
Head to the shop, ready to work
Said, "Boy, don't you ever touch my tools"
I was growin' up, learnin' 'bout stuff
Whatever he said, I couldn't get enough
'Cause man, I thought that man was old-school cool
One day, he cocked his head up high
Said, "Son, I think it's right about time
You crank it up and take me for a ride"
And he just grinned, and I jumped in
He just kept smilin' the whole time I was drivin'
I kept it in between the lines and I think it made him proud
Well, he didn't say nothin' in the passenger seat
He said it all sittin' there by me
Yeah, I learned about life for every mile we went through
That's what a Chevy and a daddy can do
One night, I hit that dash 'cause I got mad
You should've seen the look from my dad
He said, "Boy, you're still a boy, you ain't no man"
He said, "Tires go flat, paint wears off
Sometimes, things just go wrong"
Then he turned around and looked me in the eye
Said, "Let's take a ride"
I climbed inside
He just kept smilin' the whole time I was drivin'
I kept it in between the lines and I think it made him proud
Well, he didn't say nothin' in the passenger seat
He said it all sittin' there by me
Yeah, I learned about life for every mile we went through
'Cause that's what a Chevy and a daddy can do
It's been two years since he's been gone
And I don't turn my radio on
'Cause I swear sometimes I can hear him talkin' to me
Like a memory
I bet he's smilin' the whole time I'm drivin'
I keep it in between the lines and I hope I make him proud
It's like he's right there in the passenger seat
Sittin' there beside me
I learned about life every mile we went through
I'm still findin' out for every mile I go through
What a Chevy and a daddy can do
Mmm, gonna take a ride
Head to the shop, ready to work
Said, "Boy, don't you ever touch my tools"
I was growin' up, learnin' 'bout stuff
Whatever he said, I couldn't get enough
'Cause man, I thought that man was old-school cool
One day, he cocked his head up high
Said, "Son, I think it's right about time
You crank it up and take me for a ride"
And he just grinned, and I jumped in
He just kept smilin' the whole time I was drivin'
I kept it in between the lines and I think it made him proud
Well, he didn't say nothin' in the passenger seat
He said it all sittin' there by me
Yeah, I learned about life for every mile we went through
That's what a Chevy and a daddy can do

I'm still findin' out for every mile I go through
What a Chevy and a daddy can do
Mmm, gonna take a ride
