《Drive (for Daddy Gene)》歌词

[00:00:00] Drive (for Daddy Gene) - The Country Dance Kings (乡村舞王)

[00:00:08] It was painted red the stripe was white

[00:00:11] It was 18 feet from the bow to stern light

[00:00:16] Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta

[00:00:19] I rode up with daddy

[00:00:21] When he went there to get her

[00:00:23] We put on a shine put on a motor

[00:00:27] Built out of love and made for the water

[00:00:31] Ran her for years til'

[00:00:32] The transom got rotten

[00:00:34] A piece of my childhood

[00:00:36] Will never be forgoten

[00:00:38] It was just an old plywood boat

[00:00:42] With a 75 Johnson with electric choke

[00:00:46] A young boy two hands on the wheel

[00:00:50] I can't replace the way it made me feel

[00:00:53] And I would turn her sharp

[00:00:55] And I would make it whine

[00:00:57] He'd say "You can't beat

[00:00:59] The way a old wood boat rides"

[00:01:02] Just a little lake cross the Alabama line

[00:01:04] But I was king of the ocean

[00:01:08] When Daddy let me drive

[00:01:17] Just an old half ton short bed ford

[00:01:20] My Uncle bought new in 64

[00:01:24] Daddy got it right cause

[00:01:26] The engine was smoking

[00:01:28] A couple of burnt valves

[00:01:30] And he had it going

[00:01:32] He'd let me drive her

[00:01:33] When we haul off a load

[00:01:35] Down a dirt strip where we'd dump

[00:01:37] Trash off of Thigpen Road

[00:01:39] I'd sit up in the seat and

[00:01:41] Stretch my feet out to the pedels

[00:01:43] Smiling like a hero who

[00:01:45] Just received his medal

[00:01:47] It was just an old hand me down ford

[00:01:51] With 3 speed on the column

[00:01:53] And a dent in the door

[00:01:55] A young boy two hands on the wheel

[00:01:59] I can't replace the way

[00:02:01] It made me feel and

[00:02:02] I would press that clutch

[00:02:04] And I would keep it right

[00:02:06] He would say a little slower son

[00:02:08] Your doing just fine

[00:02:10] Just a dirt road with

[00:02:12] Trash on each side

[00:02:13] But I was Mario Andretti

[00:02:17] When Daddy let me drive

[00:02:35] I'm grown up now

[00:02:37] 3 daughters of my own

[00:02:39] I let them drive my old jeep

[00:02:40] Across the pasture at our home

[00:02:43] Maybe one day they'll

[00:02:44] Reach back in their file

[00:02:46] And pull out that old memory

[00:02:48] And think of me and smile

[00:02:50] And say

[00:02:51] It was just an old worn out jeep

[00:02:54] Rusty old floor boards

[00:02:56] Hot on my feet

[00:02:58] A young girl two hands on the wheel

[00:03:02] I can't replace the way

[00:03:04] It made me feel

[00:03:05] And he'd say

[00:03:06] Turn it left and steer it right

[00:03:09] Straighten up girl now

[00:03:11] You're doing just fine

[00:03:13] Just a little valley

[00:03:15] By the river where we'd ride

[00:03:16] But I was high on a mountain

[00:03:20] When Daddy let me drive

[00:03:24] Daddy let me drive

[00:03:27] Oh he let me drive

[00:03:39] It's just an old plywood boat

[00:03:42] With a 75 johnson

[00:03:44] And electric choke
