Lyrics

The smell of stale coffee cups, sawdust and cigarettes
Floorboard covered in things the old man regrets
My feet dangle
Almost touching it all
I lay awake at the crack of dawn
Listening for dad's throat to clear
Maybe this time, he'd let me steer
To Seven-Eleven, blueberry muffins
With our troubled home in the rearview
We called this truck Old Red
A massive Chevy with an even bigger bed
Gun rack above the seat where I'd lay my head
There was a stitchin' of a buck in the middle
Beneath the CB, where I'd sit when I was little
Growin' up hard, thick as thieves
Thinking dad's the only one who'd save me
I lived for moments just me and him
Cruisin' to the dump, Allman Brothers and the wind
Stackin' wood, fire within
I prayed these moments would never end
Well that old truck finally broke on down
So did my dad, I lost them both somehow
A decade apart but nevertheless
All I got are memories of Old Red
We called this truck Old Red
A massive Chevy with an even bigger bed
Gun rack above the seat where I'd lay my head
There was a stitchin' of a buck in the middle
Beneath the CB, where I'd sit when I was little
Growin' up hard, thick as thieves
Thinking dad's the only one who'd save me
Well that old truck finally broke on down
So did my dad, I lost them both somehow
A decade apart but nevertheless
All I got are memories of Old Red
