Any Other Way

Sixteen just learning to drive That seventy Chevy truck Three on the tree, a clutch that stuck And a body covered in rust She was the apple of my eye A little past her prime Daddy threw the keys to me Said keep her between the lines And I jammed it in gear, stepped on the gas And headed down the road People stopped and stared and laughed As it rattled and blew out smoke I just smiled and sang along to every song the radio played And said hey, I wouldn't have it any other way I met the girl of my dreams That spring I turned nineteen Blonde hair and big green eyes I'd melt when they looked at me I remember the day she called and said Two would turn into three The time was right no more waiting I grabbed that little ring And I jammed it in gear, stepped on the gas And headed down the road People stopped and stared and laughed As it rattled and blew out smoke Knocked on her door and dropped to my knee Would forever be ok She said hey, I wouldn't have it any other way Funny how the years can push us to our dreams We loaded up my old guitar and headed to Tennessee And I jammed it in gear, stepped on the gas And headed down the road People stopped and stared and laughed As it rattled and blew out smoke I don't know if this road we're on will lead where we want to go But I've got a wife and four great kids, if that's all I have to show Well hey, I wouldn't have it any other way Sixteen just learning to drive That seventy Chevy truck Three on the tree, a clutch that stuck And a body covered in rust
