The Green Truck (Stripped)

Daddy drove an F-150 and it sparkled like green candy

And my heart would jump when I saw that truck pull up in the drive

I never knew how long he'd stay but I remember that one Saturday

When he took me and mama to the lake and we caught fireflies

And I felt safe that night

With his green truck in the drive

And pretty soon he started staying away, second turned into seventh grade

Every time I saw that model and make I'd check behind the wheel

Then I fell into a pretty rough crowd, the kind that blows all your speakers out

Got into trouble, momma moved me out, the end of junior year

But I still prayed at night

To see his green truck in the drive

The day before I turned 25, they called and said my daddy died

I gues she left me one last time and put that old Ford in my name

No I ain't gonna fix it up, I'm gonna keep it just the way it was

Even gonna leave that dashboard dust, but one thing's gonna change

Someday down the line

When my babies look outside

As long as I'm alive

There'll be a green truck in the drive

Oooh, oooh

Oooh, oooh
