《Drive for Daddy Gene》歌词

[00:00:00] Drive for Daddy Gene - Country Love

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

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

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

[00:00:19] I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her

[00:00:23] Put on a shine

[00:00:25] Put on a motor

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

[00:00:31] Ran her for years 'til the transom got rotten

[00:00:34] A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten

[00:00:38] It was

[00:00:39] Just on old plywood boat

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

[00:00:47] 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

[00:00:56] Make her whine

[00:00:57] He'd say you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides

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

[00:01:05] But I was king of the ocean

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

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

[00:01:21] My uncle bought new in '64

[00:01:25] Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking

[00:01:28] A couple of burnt valves and he had it going

[00:01:33] He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load

[00:01:36] Down a dirt strip we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road

[00:01:40] I'd sit up in the seat and stretch

[00:01:42] My feet out to the pedals

[00:01:44] Smiling like a hero that just received his medal

[00:01:48] It was

[00:01:49] Just an old hand me down Ford

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

[00:01:56] A young boy two hands on the wheel

[00:02:00] I can't replace the way it mode me feel

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

[00:02:05] And I would keep it right

[00:02:07] He'd say a little slower son you're doing just fine

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

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

[00:02:18] When daddy let me drive

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

[00:02:40] I let them drive my old Jeep across

[00:02:42] The pasture at our home

[00:02:44] 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

[00:02:52] 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

[00:03:07] And he'd say turn it left and steer it right

[00:03:11] Straighten up girl now you're doing just fine

[00:03:16] Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride

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

[00:03:21] When daddy let me drive

[00:03:25] When daddy let me drive

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

[00:03:41] She was just an old plywood boat

[00:03:44] With a '75 Johnson

[00:03:47] With electric choke
