The Green Truck
Daddy drove an F-150 and it sparkled like green candy
And my heart would jump when I saw that truck pull up in the drive
I never knew how long he'd stay, but I remember that one Saturday
When he took me and mama to the lake and we caught fireflies
And I felt safe that night
With his green truck in the drive
And pretty soon he started staying away
Second turned into seventh grade
Every time I saw that model and make, I'd check behind the wheel
Then I fell into a pretty rough crowd
The kind that blows all your speakers out
Got into trouble, mama moved me out
The end of Junior year
But I still prayed at night
To see his green truck in the drive
The day before I turned 25, they called and said my daddy died
I guess he left me one last time
And put that old Ford in my name
No I ain't gonna fix it up, I'm gonna keep it just the way it was
Even gonna leave the dashboard dust
But one thing's gonna change
Someday down the line
When my babies look outside
As long as I'm alive
There'll be a green truck in the drive
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
And my heart would jump when I saw that truck pull up in the drive
I never knew how long he'd stay, but I remember that one Saturday
When he took me and mama to the lake and we caught fireflies
And I felt safe that night
With his green truck in the drive
And pretty soon he started staying away
Second turned into seventh grade
Every time I saw that model and make, I'd check behind the wheel
Then I fell into a pretty rough crowd
The kind that blows all your speakers out
Got into trouble, mama moved me out
The end of Junior year
But I still prayed at night
To see his green truck in the drive
The day before I turned 25, they called and said my daddy died
I guess he left me one last time
And put that old Ford in my name
No I ain't gonna fix it up, I'm gonna keep it just the way it was
Even gonna leave the dashboard dust
But one thing's gonna change
Someday down the line
When my babies look outside
As long as I'm alive
There'll be a green truck in the drive
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
