《Drive (For Daddy Gene)》歌词

[00:00:10] It was painted red the stripe was white

[00:00:13] It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light

[00:00:17] Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta

[00:00:21] I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her

[00:00:25] We put on a shine; put on a motor

[00:00:28] Built out of love made for the water

[00:00:33] Ran her for years til the transom got rotten

[00:00:36] A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten

[00:00:39] It was just on old plywood boat

[00:00:41] With a ′75 Johnson with electric choke

[00:00:45] A young boy two hands on the wheel

[00:00:51] I can′t replace the way it made me feel

[00:00:55] And I would turn her sharp

[00:00:57] And I would make her whine

[00:00:59] He′d say "you can′t beat the way an old wood boat rides"

[00:01:04] Just a little lake across the Alabama line

[00:01:06] But I was king of the ocean

[00:01:09] When daddy let me drive

[00:01:18] Just an old half ton shortbed ford

[00:01:22] My uncle bought new in 6 4

[00:01:26] Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking

[00:01:30] A couple of burnt valves and he had it going

[00:01:34] He let me drive her when we′d haul off a load

[00:01:37] Down a dirt strip where we′d dump trash off of Thigpen Road

[00:01:41] I′d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals

[00:01:45] Smiling like a hero that just received his medal

[00:01:47] It was just an old handdown Ford

[00:01:52] With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door

[00:01:57] A young boy two hands on the wheel

[00:02:01] I can′t replace the way it mode me feel

[00:02:03] And I would press that clutch

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

[00:02:06] And he′d say "a little slower son you′re doing just fine"

[00:02:12] Just a dirt rood with trash on each side

[00:02:15] But I was Mario Andretti

[00:02:16] When daddy let me drive

[00:02:37] I′m grown up now three daughters of my own

[00:02:41] I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home

[00:02:45] Maybe one day they′ll reach back in their file

[00:02:48] And pull out that old memory

[00:02:50] And think of me and smile and say

[00:02:53] It was just an old worn out Jeep

[00:02:56] Rusty old floorboard hot on my feet

[00:03:00] A young girl two hands on the wheel

[00:03:04] I can′t replace the way it made me feel

[00:03:06] And he′d say "turn it left and steer it right

[00:03:10] Straighten up girl you′re doing just fine"

[00:03:15] Just a little valley by the river where we′d ride

[00:03:18] But I was high on a mountain

[00:03:22] When daddy let me drive

[00:03:26] When daddy let me drive

[00:03:29] Oh he let me drive

[00:03:37] Daddy let me drive

[00:03:41] It′s just an old plywood boat

[00:03:43] With a ′75 Johnson with electric choke
