Old Black Truck

It was a lift jet black '88

With Dodge Ram written on the tailgate

I swear he loved that truck more than he loved me

He pulled up with Johnny Cash crank blowing in the wind

Was a worn out flag

And his license plate said my name

I rode shotgun and we were off

Wearing blue jean shorts and a bikini top

He gave 'er a rev and melted the tires

You should've seen them duals spittin' fire

Never looked back didn't know where we were goin'

We just had fun makin' memories and chasin' the sun

Without that truck we'd have got nowhere

Spent the summer in the middle of that front seat

With the gears and the clutch between my feet

The windows down the wind blowin' my hair

It was loud and proud and we always got stuck

In that ol' black truck

Well the four wheel drive was broke the first month

So we ended up gettin' towed a bunch

But it was a laugh and looked good on him

We waded the river a couple of times

Had an old set of spinoff tires

And that was the truck that we took to prom

Up John Garvin back the Tower Road

There's no place that thing wouldn't go

That's the best summer that I ever had

With my best friend and an ol' truck bed

Never looked back didn't know where we were goin'

We just had fun makin' memories and chasin' the sun

Without that truck we'd have got nowhere

Spent the summer in the middle of that front seat

With the gears and the clutch between my feet

The windows down the wind blowin' my hair

It was loud and proud and we always got stuck

In that ol' black truck

Never looked back didn't know where we were goin'

We just had fun makin' memories and chasin' the sun

Without that truck we'd have got nowhere

Spent the summer in the middle of that front seat

With the gears and the clutch between my feet

The windows down the wind blowin' my hair

It was loud and proud and we always got stuck

Knee deep in mud and fallin' in love

In that ol' black truck

It was a lift jet black '88

With Dodge Ram written on the tailgate

I swear he loved that truck more than he loved me
